- Yes, the first attempt to silence Emacs was to add the (setq...) entry to my
- .emacs file and leave the termcap entry alone. The idea was that Emacs would
- search the term entry for a :vb entry, and on finding none would do nothing.
- It didn't work but defaulted to using :bl (sorry above is incorrect, should
- read :bl=:).
