Had already done that. Or, at least I had checked the value of stty -a. I tried explicit setting it just now anyway, as you suggested; still get NULs. > Why this happens beats me. Yeah, me too. :) ...I suspect that at least part of the bug could be some hitch with xfce4 (which claims to be xterm) not quite conforming to xterm's terminfo (why else should behavior differ at all from screen running under a genuine xterm, or gnome-terminal?). But even if that's so, some of the fault probably lies with screen, in mishandling the situation and sending NULs that it clearly is not receiving, and that have nothing to do with terminfo values. Is there a better forum to contact developers? Am I correct in my assessment that the screen-devel list is abandoned? -- Micah J.
