You want the switch to/from alternate screen escapes in the ti= and te= entries. Standard: \E[?47h XFree86: \E[?1049h (this one clears the target and remembers the cursor position in each screen; XFree86 4.0 and later only) Also make sure the titeInhibit resource isn't set to true, as this causes xterm to ignore the alternate screen (arguably it's misnamed). -- brandon s allbery [openafs/solaris/japh/freebsd] allbery@kf8nh.apk.net system administrator [linux/heimdal/too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering KF8NH carnegie mellon university [better check the oblivious first -ke6sls]
