Hm. Thanks for pointing this out. It isn't anything I meant to do. Looking now in the screen source, I see that there are two sample screenrc files: etcscreenrc, and screenrc. etcscreenrc is supposed to be a sample /etc/screenrc, and screenrc is supposed to be a sample ~/.screenrc. The diff is at http://www.diffnow.com/?report=iz5ex . Neither of those files has exactly the termcapinfo line you cited, but screenrc seems to have most of the capabilities in it, in xterm lines. I don't mind installing screenrc instead of etcscreenrc as the global /etc/screenrc, if it's got better functionality in it OOTB. I'd appreciate it if you'd test it first though, especially with mintty, and let me know what you find. I'll do the same, but I override most of that stuff in my ~/.screenrc, so it may not make much difference for me. > [thanks for the new release!] You bet!
