I need to turn automatic margins off according the following statement from Screen's manual in my Mac If your terminal is a "true" auto-margin terminal (it doesn't allow the last position on the screen to be updated without scrolling the screen) consider using a version of your terminal's termcap that has ...
I am using newt/snack (a TUI graphical Widgit library for Python based on slang) to have some interactive scripts. However for some target terminals the output of those screens are not very nice. I can change the look of them by changing the $TERM variable to remove non printable characters, and to convert them to something more suitable...
I would like to change a program to automatically detect whether a terminal is color-capable or not, so when I run said program from within a non-color capable terminal (say M-x shell in (X)Emacs), color is automatically turned off.

I would like to be able to display more than 80 columns on my perform screens to fit more stuff in one page. I tried DOS 6.22 command ‘MODE CON: CO132’ and on my perform screen I specified...

Some VT100 terminal emulators (eg. screen(1), PuTTY) support the C1 set, too. These are the values between 0x80 and 0x9f (so, for example, 0x84 moves the cursor down a line). I am...
