    I am modifying a VT100 termcap entry to more or less shift the
screen down one row.  (To allow a status line at the top of the
screen.) The two commands that I am having problems changing are cs 
and cm (Set scroll region and goto row, column).

   The problem is that the cm is currently set to cm=5\E[%i%d;%dH and
cs set to cs=\E[%i%d;%dr. Since the row parameter is already increased
by one by the %i, I can't increase it again with %i (I tried and it
increased the second parameter (%i%i%d;%dr))

   I considered using %>xy, but that would fail when the row ='s 0 (the
lowest x I could have would be 0).

   So, how can I add one more to a parameter that is already %i'd?


   Thanks for any help!

(Although I'd still like to find out the answer - if anyone has a
termcap entry for vt100 that has a status line (top or bottom -
preferably top) I'd appreciate a copy!  Thanks again..)
