Dear Sir,
I had modified the terminfo database by copying the existing
ansi terminal type to a new type called "oc". Here I defined the
kpp=\E[5~ and knp=\E[6~and recompiled it.
I verified this with the command "infocmp -I oc" and it reconstructed
the terminfo src for the terminal type "oc" correctly.
However , when I ran "rxvt -tn oc" , and tried to check the page
up and down using "tput kpp" and "tput knp" ; I was getting
back the prompt without any action. Commands like "tput home",
tput kcub1, etc are responding with approppriate repositioning.
How do I check whether kpp and knp is built into the database
correctly? Do I need to do anything else other than modifying the
terminfo database for Solaris 2.5 ?
Thank you
Sankar
