- This is definitely a termcap problem. Plese getthe GNU termcap manual
- and read about "magic cookies"--it sounds like thatterminal uses them.
-
- If you do get a correct termcap entry for that terminal,
- please send me the corrected entry.

- So, does anyone know a way to make Emacs update the entire mode
- line, instead of just what's changed, or some other way around this
- problem?
-
- It would be a mistake even to consider such possibilities now. When
- certain terminal facilities don't work, don't start by trying to avoid
- using them. First try to fix them! Don't give up without even
- trying.
