hello. Just to clarify. Right now, the cursor is tracking properly when displaying regular screens, but when select popup menus are in use, the cursor goes to the bottom of the screen. I think this is, again, probably due to a translation error between the termcap spec for the terminal and the terminfo spec for the same terminal. I'm working on checking each field between the termcap spec and the terminfo spec. Hopefully, that will fix this remaining issue.
No need to do this by hand. The ncurses library comes with a captoinfo program (a symlink to tic(1)) which can be used instead: $ window $ echo "$TERMCAP" > $HOME/.termcap $ /opt/ncurses/bin/captoinfo $HOME/.termcap > $HOME/.terminfo $ /usr/bin/tic -x $HOME/.terminfo $ ls -l $HOME/.term* -rw------- 1 rvp rvp 321 Jan 27 23:05 /home/rvp/.termcap -rw------- 1 rvp rvp 532 Jan 27 23:08 /home/rvp/.terminfo -rw-rw-rw- 1 rvp rvp 502 Jan 27 23:11 /home/rvp/.terminfo.cdb $ -RVP
