I'm rather curious on where st will go, and what kinds of things other terminals do that it will or won't do.
In particular: - Is a scrollback buffer objectionable in principle, such that we should expect to "just use GNU screen"? - Will it implement enough of xterm's capabilities that I could lie about $TERM and expect it to mostly work? I log into many remote machines of various OS types and ages, and some of them don't make it easy to install user-specific terminfo entries.
