I think the problem lies in how reverse is being turned off. Hello Dennis, I have a colleague who has tried to setup the termcap entry correctly but after 4 or 5 he desperatly gave up. In my memory I have stored that a HP terminal has no capability to go back from reverse mode, but I am not sure. I will give your question to the above mentioned person, but you have to wait 1 week because he is on vacation. If you get any other hints, please let me know...
