I suppose there's a small possibility that might work. It couldn't rely on $TERM or other static (e.g. terminfo)-based information, but such a terminal as would send these CSIs could be given a query for it. I'm reluctant to suggest this though, because in general those things can be very problematic. Send a sequence to the terminal, even accidentally (e.g. by 'cat'ing a text file) and it sends a sequence back. In this case it'd be a strict yes/no it's likely to be better behaved than the title query, for example (the cause of some amusing security holes). Still this would require some more thought and discussion before we could really commit to actually having this information available. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans [email protected] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
