- Once I had the same problem. The solution is quite simple, but not
- too easy to find out:
- Edit your /etc/termcap file with an editor (akpEmacs or elvis or ...)
- that does *not* end the lines with <CRLF>, but only with single <LF>s.
- If you take the termcap file from the archive, it should work if you
- do not edit anything at all. Then you can go and edit it with Emacs
- itself :-)
