I've been using ncurses for everything else. :Rebuilding with ncurses has fixed the problem, obviously some sort of :S-Lang/rxvt incompatibility. Here's something to check (Make sure you use single quotes in the first line or otherwise quote the dollar sign): % ssh -l cgreen x-1.net 'echo $TERM' <answer1> % ssh -l cgreen x-1.net x-1.net% echo $TERM <answer2> Make sure <answer1> and <answer2> are the same. Also check TERMINFO and TERMCAP depending upon what's set up. I use mutt with S-Lang with no problems.
