I have the variable nl=\032 which is the character which moves the
cursor down one line without executing a cr and clearing the next line...
I have done everything I know to suppress the host from sending
\012 as the nl character, but no matter what I do it just won't understand
that I don't want the nl character as \012...

everything looks ok, other than that one glitch, but that single byte makes
using the $TERMCAP useless...

I am running a Tandy Mod4 using the COMM/CMD program...

below is the latest setting that I used... 


TERM=jazz ; export TERM
TERMCAP="jazz|trs80|tandy4:\
 :co#80:li#24:it#8:\
 :cd=\037:ce=\036:ho=\034:\
 :up=\033:cl=\034\037:\
 :kl=^H:kd=^J:kr=^I:.kb=^H:\
 :ku=^K:cr=\035\032:\
 :le=^X:do=^Z:nd=^Y:\
 :vi=^O:vs=^N:\
 :bw:.bs:am:xr:nl=\032:.nl=\032:.pt:ta=^I:nw=^Z\035:ve=^N:.os:.cm" ; export TERMCAP


HHEELLPP!!
