Hello out there, I've problems setting TERMINFO or TERMCAP on SCO 3.2v5.0.4 and INFORMIX-Online 7.22.UC3. When displaying a form with ISQL all is working well. But if I hit the INTERRUPT-KEY in a form, the screen is messed up (the menu is shown in the middle of the screen). After pressing <CTRL>+R the screen is shown correctly. So I've tried several settings, but with no success: 1) INFORMIXTERM=termcap TERMCAP=$INFORMIXDIR/etc/termcap TERM=vt100 2) INFORMIXTERM=terminfo TERMINFO=/usr/lib/terminfo TERM=vt100 I've set TERM to vt100 or vt220 or vt320, but there is always the same effect... When starting a 4GL-program, the screen is not messed up when pressing the INTERRUPT-KEY in a form, but at the position of the cursor is a "[6;71H" displayed. We have several other machines of other vendors (HP, Motorola, Olivetti) where these problems do not occur. Can anybody help me??? I'm getting mad...
