That really is just a kludge, it would be much better to get to the bottom of why the lynx/window combination is misbehaving. The TERMCAP variable has some severe liitations, the worst being it can only be 256bytes in size which was more than adequate for a vt100 definition but a modern colour xterm definition simply won't fit in that space, terminfo does not have these limitations. -- Brett Lymn -- Sent from my NetBSD device.
