"better" isn't good enough if it's still not correct. xterm-color is a generic entry, targeted at people who either don't know what their terminal can do, or don't care much. I wrote a putty terminfo some months ago (ncurses 20011117, prompted by an earlier thread). There are about 2 dozen differences between that and "xterm-color". ymmv. -- T.E.Dickey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
