Pico as built for cygwin uses the termcap entries found in /etc/termcap, there's no internal termcap to it. Pico (for cygwin) does not use terminfo. Nor does Pine. My experience as maintaner of Pico (and Pine) is that Pine/Pico have less problems in terms of control of the screen when termcap is used (as opposed to terminfo/curses/ncurses). Pico defaults to some settings (row, colums) when it can not find them, but advanced screen control is done by the termcap library. -- Eduardo http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/pine/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
