When I run xterm (Debian stable version 344-1) (TERM is xterm) and enter the command 'tput rep 65 4', the terminal does not print 4 A's; it prints nothing (next line is the shell prompt). Same behavior for rxvt-unicode version 9.22-6 (TERM is rxvt-unicode-256color) and xfce4-terminal version 0.8.7.4-2 (TERM is xterm-256color) . Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding something? Does the shell matter? My default shell is fish but I've tried with bash too.
