S-Lang 0.99.38, which was included with Midnight Commander versions prior to 4.6.0, didn't use that capability of the terminal. S-Lang 1.x uses it. I remember other people asking this question in private, and I didn't know the answer. Now I do. I think "use background colour to erase screen" shouldn't be an option, it should always be enabled in putty, or at least the default should match the terminal capabilities. However, the putty documentation says that there are some programs that expect the default background to be used. I don't have time to argue with putty developers. Thank you for reporting your findings! -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
