This may sound silly, but has anyone out there gotten Elvis to work on
the ST?  My problem is that, when I invoke (provoke?) Elvis, I always
get the message 'unrecognized TERM type'.  I am running with Gulam v.
1.04.05 with the TERM variable set to 'st', the TERMCAP variable
containing the termcap entry for 'st' and an \etc\termcap file with an
entry for 'st'.  This same setup works with GNU Emacs and the
recently-posted less v. 97 (and no, I'm not running Mint either!).  I
got my version of Elvis from panarthea.  Any ideas?  I even tried to
run without the TERM variable, just got kicked out again with 'TERM
variable must be set'.  Talk about Catch-22!

Thanks for any help,
Roy Bixler
