Summary: How to make your sun (or other machine) stop scrolling annoyingly

We had the same problem.  The fix (sent us by RMS, I believe) is to insert
some padding characters in the scrolling commands in the termcap entry.
This will make emacs think that scrolling is more expensive than it had
thought before (closer to its "true cost"), so that emacs will choose to
redraw the screen instead.

	:al=5*\E[L:dl=5*\E[M:im=:ei=:ic=\E[@:dc=\E[P:

Note on the last line the "5*" in the entries for "al" and "dl".

You can either get this inserted in /etc/termcap instead of the standard
entry, or you can set the environment variable TERMCAP to the string form of
the above on login.  I've also used the same fix for an IBM RT/PC.  Life
becomes much more pleasant.
