Emacs is like Perl ... it's a philosophy of life... Been a long time -- I forget all my emacs internals ... but: system-uses-terminfo Variable: Non-nil means the system uses terminfo rather than termcap. This variable can be used by terminal emulator packages. I think.... (setq system-uses-terminfo y) in your .emacs file will switch to using terminfo, which is what OSX ships with -- i.e. no termcap file, just terminfo files. No guess as to what might have changed or why. (It still works nicely in 10.6.7.) T.T.F.N. William H.
