Due to the way gbII works with the status bar, you must have either a 'cs' (cursor scroll), al & dl (add line, delete line) or AL & DL (add line, delete line) options with your termcap entry. The gb.1.4.3.tar.Z file on scam does not have all the bells and whistles of the current client, but it works for most term types. gbII (as of 2.0+) really requires a smart terminal type. Hope this answers any questions you have. Evan
