- I have some problems with HPterm (Xwindow) amd tcsh: HPterm uses itself the
- arrow keys and don't send the sequences to tcsh. I'd prefer not to use xterm,
- because HPterm has some usefull options (as -map). Is there a solution to have
- the advantages of HPterm AND tcsh ?

- This is what works for me:
-
- alias precmd 'echo -n `tput smkx`'
-
- in my .cshrc. The tput smkx makes the cursor commands do the right thing. Aliasing it to precmd
- assures that if some program you run resets the tty modes the damage will be undone by the
- time you give the next command to the shell. I think I picked this fix up in this newsgroup
- a while ago.
