otoh, it would be nice if Apple's developers would "just work" and learn how to write their own terminal description to document their work. (To be fair, the same applies to KDE, GNOME developers). nsterm is the recommended $TERM for Terminal.app; report bugs against that rather than screen (reading screen's source code should give a hint why it's better to make the terminal description correct than continue hacking screen). -- Thomas E.
