Well, I'm not sitting in front of escape(7), but I knew about wrap-on and wrap-off becasue I saw them in there just last week. (I have never seen any kind of source code for this machine, other than the kinds that everyone has seen.) I also knew about (and have used) strikeout mode somehow (but that may have been trial and error on values for the "\033[ P1 m" sequence); dunno if I ever saw what you called "absolute" attribute stuff. Since I saw this at least some of this in the docs, maybe you have an older version of escape(7). BTW, speaking of kismet.... Since I loaded FIXDISK 2.0, all of my windows seem to be "linewrap off" by default. I have to give them ye olde escape sequence to get them to match my terminfo (actually JBM's previously posted version of what he just posted). It's possible that I have had some other change and just noticed this recently, but it seems unlikely. Anybody else notice this change? (If you run GNUemacs, for long lines it inserts the "\" but then believes the window will wrap the line, so it doesn't bother. Looks quite ill.) -- Bill Carpenter att!ho5cad!wjc or attmail!bill
