- Double check that you have a good termcap entry and that the xterm you
- have is healthy. Seyon proper does not fuss around with the termcap
- database but lets xterm worry about that (actually you can use any
- terminal program you like with Seyon, those on tight memory can use
- xvt instead of xterm and those who want ANSI color can use color
- xterm). If all fails, invoke Seyon from an existing xterm by the
- command 'seyon-cmd'. This uses the existing xterm window and does not
- create a new one.
