Sending the ti string at startup time would do strange 16#things on other systems too; in xterm it would use the alternate 17#screen. 18# 19#The problem with cmdtool, in case that is less than obvious, is that 20#almost none of the capabilities advertised in /etc/termcap are enabled 21#while scrolling is enabled. It has other problems too, like being 22#part of an outdated proprietary windowing system, but there's probably 23#no need to dwell on that. In a sense, though, the sun-cmd termcap 24#entry doesn't lie about the capabilities; I think the termcap man page 25#does warn about some terminals having cursor motion capabilities only 26#in the "ti/te window". 27# 28#A general solution to this problem would require a termcap capability 29#which somehow tells which features are available outside of the ti/te 30#window. There is no such capability in termcap now, of course. 31
