NAME

set_termcap, set_emacs - set an appropriate TERMCAP entry for MGR.  

SYNOPSIS

eval `set_termcap [ -b ]`  

DESCRIPTION

Set_termcap Prints on stdout the shell commands required to set the TERMCAP environment variable appropriately for the current window size on a mgr terminal. Set_termcap looks at the SHELL environment variable to decide what shell commands are appropriate. the command eval `set_termcap` sets the TERM and TERMCAP environment variables appropriately.

Set_emacs optimizes the termcap entry for GNU-emacs, which knows how to deal with scrolling regions and multiple line inserts and deletes, whereas set_termcap keeps vi happy.  

BUGS

csh usrs need to use: set noglob; eval `set_termcap` to keep the shell from getting confused.
