However, when I try to `setenv TERM rxvt-cygwin-native`in tcsh, I get the error: tcsh: Cannot open /etc/termcap. tcsh: using dumb terminal settings. Which is the same error if I try to set TERM to something like "aoeuaoeu" which doesn't exist in the termcap. Is there some step I'm missing here to make tcsh recognize the new termcap info? Is termcap cached somewhere that I haven't updated or something? -- Jim Ramsay
