Should and can are two entirely different things.

It then reduces them itself internally to what it thinks the underlying term supports -- again, this is done via terminfo, so if you're running screen on xterm you're running a crippled screen. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
