Googling further finds that referenced in a comment pointing to the termcap manual, which refers to the terminfo names "enter_ca_mode" and "exit_ca_mode". In that context, "ca" refers to cursor-addressing, which is only related to titeInhibit since the strings happen to be where xterm's alternate-screen controls are usually put. bye -- Thomas E.
