| Try this: Below you will find a new set of termcap entrys.

  Any xterm termcap definition should include a scrolling region
definition.  If it doesn't, some software will use multiple insert and
delete lines to do partial page scrolls.  On some server implementations,
such scrolls can take half a minute to complete depending on the number
of lines affected.

  Therefore, if you're going to distribute a new xterm temcap definition
please include ``:cs=\E[%i%d;%dr:'' which defines how to do scrolling
regions for xterm.
