Is the termcap string "rp" (and equivalent in terminfo) supposed to work across line boundaries? I mean if a terminal can repeat a character but only to the end of the line, then is it okay to call that rp? The only program I know of that uses it is emacs, and it never repeats across lines. Also, is it okay to assume only printing characters are repeated? Edward
