What I meant is, download the latest ncurses package from GNU, and run "tic" on that file, which you should find within the extracted directory. >> Otherwise, typing your cursor keys while running >> cat-under-screen-under-putty, and comparing with what terminfo/termcap >> say about what the cursor keys should be, is often illuminating. > > I get the same output from cat whether I am in PuTTY-screen or > PuTTY-screen-ssh-screen, even though the latter does not work in curses > applications. What specific values do you get? You might need to compare what screen says they should be, too ("infocmp screen" in your shell: look for the values of kcub1, kcud1, etc). Check also to see if their values differ between your host system and the remote system. Also, what is the value of $TERM in (a) just putty, (b) screen-in-putty (c) screen-over-ssh-in-screen-in-putty. (Actually, I should probably have had you test with "tput smkx; cat; tput rmkx", rather than cat by itself; please try that and see if you get anything different) In particular, you should compare what you get for the tput/cat combo when you type the cursor-down key directly, with what you get when you do C-a : stuff $:kd: (with the tput/cat combo running). - -- Micah J.
