My "libtermkey" library already understands the byte sequences that xterm _already_ throws. I made a whole load of suggestions on how to extend these byte seq.s to fix a few problems with the current encoding, but that was more of a side interest... Nothing stops libtermkey from simply abstracting out what termcap/terminfo already provide. It's an extension of, not a replacement. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
