hmm - for consistency in xterm, I should have made the default for
--enable-status-line
enabled. But since there are few actual uses of tsl/fsl (almost all are
hard-coded), I'd overlooked those which mix hard-coding and terminfo
(such as the programs given as examples here).
Applications which assume xterm's title-string should use the terminfo
"XT" flag anyway (documented in terminfo.src), because it doesn't allow
for a parameter in tsl, as documented in terminfo(5):
to_status_line tsl ts move to status line,
column #1
Some terminals with status lines need special sequences to access the
status line. These may be expressed as a string with single parameter
tsl which takes the cursor to a given zero-origin column on the status
line. The capability fsl must return to the main-screen cursor posi‐
tions before the last tsl. You may need to embed the string values of
sc (save cursor) and rc (restore cursor) in tsl and fsl to accomplish
this.
