The following reply was made to PR gnu/5039; it has been noted by GNATS.

I use a vanilla XFree86 3.3.5 xterm with no hanky panky in termcap. The command ``dialog --infobox "Go reset your terminal" 3 35'' produces a box in the middle of my xterm, and returns me to the command prompt at the very bottom of the xterm. There are no unpleasant side-effects, unless you don't like the fact that whatever was in your xterm before is now gone. Whether you regard that as an unpleasant side-effect is pretty much a matter of personal taste. Unless someone can show that the default termcap entry for xterm or the XFree86 3.3.5 xterm produces some _other_ side-effects some time soon, I'll close this PR. Ciao, Sheldon.
