68: Where is the termcap/terminfo entry for terminal type `emacs'? + + The termcap entry for terminal type `emacs' is ordinarily put in the + TERMCAP environment variable of subshells. It may help in certain + situations (eg., using rlogin from shell buffer) to add an entry for + `emacs' to the system-wide termcap file. Here is a correct termcap entry + for `emacs': + + emacs:tc=unknown: + + To make a terminfo entry for `emacs', use `tic' or `captoinfo'. You need + to generate /usr/lib/terminfo/e/emacs. It may work to simply copy + /usr/lib/terminfo/d/dumb to /usr/lib/terminfo/e/emacs. + + Having a termcap/terminfo entry will not enable the use of full screen + programs in shell buffers. Use M-x terminal-emulator for that instead. + + A workaround to the problem of missing termcap/terminfo entries is to + change terminal type `emacs' to type `dumb' or `unknown' in your shell + start up file. `csh' users could put this in their .cshrc files: + + if ("$term" == emacs) set term=dumb +
