I have some notes I did some time ago on terminfo for the cbm2 series. One issue with the screen code in the kernal is that a 'line' can be multiple screen lines in size, affecting scroll, delete line, insert line, and text wrap around the right edge of the screen. Below I've included my notes, which includes the terminfo codes. Anyone's welcome to fix and use the info here. By the way, most of these codes should also work reasonably on the c128 80col screen handler iirc. cbm2 terminfo seq's http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/cbm/cbm-ii/b128/USERS%20MANUAL/40&41.gif bw flag: left at BOL goes to EOpL co#80 li#25 eo flag: space clars char on overstrike erase eol \eQ erase bol \eP dl clear line \eD al insert line \eI cr move bol \eJ move eol \eK ; on last char, not after sf scrollup \eV ; scrolls window sr scrolldn \eW ; scrolls window im autoins on \eA ei autoins off \eC ic insert space shift-ins chr$(32) chr$(157) mr reverse vid me end rvs vid bl bell ^g vb vis bell \er\en setbotright \eB settopleft \eT reverse \eR normal \eN nd right ^] le left chr$(157) do down ^q up up chr$(145) ho home ^s ff clear chr$(147) cl clear all ^s^schr$(147) is initstring ^s^s^S\eC rs reset ^s^s^S\eC nw start of next \r BUGS: a 'line' can be two lines on the display. This affects insert, delete, scroll, next line key input. Note that the function keys will need programmed as they contain strings by default. k1 chr$(133) k2 chr$(137) k3 chr$(134) k4 chr$(138) k5 chr$(135) k6 chr$(139) k7 chr$(136) k8 chr$(140) k9 k10 kr right arrow ^] kl left arrow chr$(157) ku up arrow chr$(145) kd down arrow ^q kh home key ^s kb backspace ^t kc clear screen chr$(147) On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 2:41 AM, Marko Mäkelä <msmakela@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, Jan 04, 2015 at 01:09:48PM -0500, william degnan wrote: > >> I agree. mutt is really only useful in a modern terminal or VT100, not >> something like a CBM 256-80.
