> I don't think that's possible. Why do you need to detect that ? I want to detect it so that I can mitigate arabic issues programmatically by manually printing characters from right to left. I know I'm fixing the side effects of this problem and not the problem itself. And, of course, this can be easly switched off if the user needs to.
As for fixing the problem, pushing for a termcap or terminfo entry is definitely the way to go. However, at this stage, I'd be happy with just a good old-fashioned [reliable] environment variable that indicates it. The most important thing is that we should all agree on it. No use defining a stranded if no one follows it ;) _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
