- set TERMCAP=full path to termcap.dat, default: /emx/etc/termcap.dat
- set TERM=name of terminal entry you want (ansi, ansi-color, ansi-mono, etc)
-
- Did you say you compiled it or just `dumped' it? Read the emacs.doc that
- comes with the package for a (rather) detailed explaination of how to
- do all this.
