[Sheflug] Terminfo

["Robert Speed" <nospam [at] Viclabs.co.uk>]

Quick question to anyone with experience of re-writing terminal 
(terminfo, not termcap) definition files.

I'm trying to get a DG (Data General) terminal to work with Linux.
All is fine, with the exception that when I'm in an application (pretty 
much most things), pressing the down arrow key appears to be 
sending a ^z, thereby stopping the app.

Reading the d211 terminal type, it is indeed ^z (ctrl-z) that should 
be trapped.
I've also tried a d210 type, which should be \[B, but to no avail.

VT types work fine, menu bars within apps 'move down' instead of 
stopping, so I tried setting kcud1=\EOB which is the same as a 
vt100 (and works for the vt type terms).
Obviously, this doesn't do the trick - but at least I know...


Any clues ?
