I'm sorry for my inexperience with termcap/terminfo entries, but unless I misunderstood, your original response didn't fully answer my question. I wanted to install a termcap entry for rxvt-unicode. Now you told me how to install a terminfo entry, and I hadn't even realized that openbsd used terminfo (so thank you), but there still isn't a termcap entry. The infocmp program outputs a termcap entry, but I'm not sure what to do with it. -- Russell Harmon RTP Computer Science House
