Hi Tony, hi Yakov!
I looked throught the term/terminfo/termcap/xterm/rxvt/* stuff and
have more questions than answers now.
Do you know a document or HowTo or something linke that which will
give me more closer informations about the term* handling in linux
and/or its terminal emulations ?
For example: Is it generally impossible to switch the cusor's _shape_
(not only its color!) from bar to block and back inside the console
version (gvim started as vim but with --enable-gui compile) of vim
with t_SI/t_EI ???
Thank you very much for you help in advance!
