	Greetings. Thanks for all the replies goes to:

	Did I get everything to work? Well, if you ever had to
	play with a Televideo you know that the answer is a NO.
	
	I tried all the termcaps below and had success with some
	in some areas and with others in other areas but no "this
	is perfect" fixes. Don't get me wrong, I'm much happier
	with these (most things work). Here's a copy of the replies:

	Send e-mail to fmgst@unix.cis.pitt.edu for a copy of this
	file in the future since that's where it will be archived.

Do you mean "termcap" or "terminfo"? Some programs use one, some use the
other. The terminfo doc will explain the name mappings... I'll explain in
termcap terms.

	1) The status line gets deleted (or overwritten)  when my
	application starts up.

Check the "ks", "vs", and "is" strings for sequences like "esc f", or just
remove stuff frpm them until it stops doing it.

	2) The bold/normal majorly screws up. Setting the "950
	compability" mode on the 955 does not help. Neither does
	setting the "control code does not use space" to true.
	This one problem completely screws up my main menu as
	well as the "sysadmsh" shell from SCO UNIX.

Televideo terminals are really bad this way. It may not be possible to resolve
the problem, because it depends on applications being coded to handle magic
cookies. Try setting "sg" to 1, and turning off "safe to move in standout". If
that doesn't help you will have to use protected mode for highlighting (which
will take a bit of getting used to) by deleting all but "so" and "se" and
setting them to "\e)" and "\e(". Setting the whole screen to inverse video
might help make standout stand out better here.

I understand your frustration. Televideo brain damage has been the bane of my
existence for the past 12 years.

Try this one - we've been using it for several years:

I don't think it does anything fancy with the status lines, etc.

We have heard of tvi955 (used to be the most used terminals here:
they have mostly been replaced with Xterminals, but we still have
roughly 20-30 running).

I have included our local termcaps for tvi955 (it is a bit hacked,
but you might find something usefull).

Does it just use termcaps, or does it use terminfo?  We have basic
USL Unix 3.2 (from Intel) and the tvi950 entries work just fine
for us.

This should be fixed easily enough.  Just fix the entry for
ks and/or ti.

Here's a tvi950 termcap entry we use.  Usual disclaimers apply.
