- Oops, I gaffed. "^[[1;24r" actually might not cause problems too frequently,
- since, well, all it's saying is "okay, let's go back to using the whole
- 24-line screen" which is what GeoComm wants to do anyway. "^[[2;24r" through
- "^[[5;24r" seem to be Bad Things, though. Codes with higher values in the
- first increment/integer position don't cause problems for me in VI under
- Screen, but echoed from the command line they tend to cause undesirable
- behaviour from GeoComm.
-
- A question for John - you stated that GeoWorks doesn't intend to add any new
- features to GeoComm for 2.0 - would fixing whatever causes this behaviour be
- considered adding a feature, or would that fall under bug-fixes? If it falls
- under bug-fixes, any chance they'll do it? :)
