Time

Yesterday i spent some time with not_in_denial and tacomonkey at their place; nowhere near as much as i would have liked, primarily because i under-estimated how long it would take to travel from my place to theirs via pt - two hours each way, as it turned out. Still, any time with not_in_denial and tacomonkey is time well-spent, in my opinion. :-)

Ack, so much to do, and not enough time and energy to do it . . . . it's so frustrating . . . !

i don't suppose anyone knows what terminfo setting(s) influence whether a terminfo-based cup escape sequence is sent to the terminal raw, instead of being interpreted?

*is sooo jealous ;).* Ok, we all have to all move in together. So there! :)

*hmms*I've had a poke for terminfo stuff, but I haven't found out how to change the mode, except through curses.

Well, the (clearly highly important!) situation is this: i'm opening NetHack in an xterm from the fluxbox menu, using the -ti option to specify which terminal type to use (e.g. "xterm -ti vt100 -e nethack"). The reason i'm doing this is because when i use a vanilla xterm, ANSI escape sequences get dumped to the screen at certain times (when checking the inventory list, if you know NetHack). But the interesting thing is, this doesn't happen when i open up NetHack from within screen(1); and if i try passing 'screen' as the value for '-ti', it doesn't work. So what i've done is made a copy of the vt100 terminfo file, and have been going through that copy and altering terminfo variables one at a time, to match the values of the terminfo variables for the screen term. i'm most of the way through, and still no dice. :-(

Thanks for your efforts!
