I did. I sent the following questions (I have more, but this is a start). They were ignored, so I went on without the information. ===== <091006184253.aa92593...@caleb.ins.cwru.edu> I'm not sure I understand the change to xterm that caused this, though. Is it that it always advertises the `km' capability and switches off the eightBitInput or eightBitControl resources when you send the `smm' string? Or does it turn on the metaSendsEscape resource? Or something else? I'm trying to understand how xterm dynamically changes its resources based on terminal escape sequences it receives. I'm not sure how to reconcile the description in http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#bash_met a_mode with the description in the terminfo manual page ("8th bit on"). I'd like to have readline do the right thing by default, even if I add a new variable to control this specific behavior. I'd also like it to interact well with the existing readline eight-bit variables. ===== -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, ITS, CWRU c...@case.edu http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
