Hi,

I'd like to use the altscreen feature. It seems to work only if I set TERM=xterm
otherwise vim (...and others) doesn't use the alternate screen. Is it vim's
fault or is it something in the terminfo ( which I don't really comprehend)? I'm
using very recent glibc-2.3.3 branch snapshot so the terminfo should be most up
to date as well. Screen version is 4.00.01 (FAU) 18-Sep-03. When I set TERM=xterm,
ncurses apps ( make menuconfig) tend behave badly.

What TERM inside screen does everybody use? Do I need to do any changes to my
terminfo tree?

Thanks
Ivan
