hi..

i have a problem with vi..
after vi, i have to flush out screen everytime since previous commands and
the outputs are below my cursor..

with some searching, found out it's matter of terminal..
i use konsole..
and echo $TERM gives me xterm

is there anything i can do against the odd vi behavior?

thank you..

That's one of konsole's bugs: it misimplements the xterm alternate screen
features, additionally equating XFree86 xterm's private mode 1049 as the xterm
private mode 47 - which is incorrect (both deal with switching between normal
and alternate screens). Reading the source code for konsole tells me that the
KDE developers did not bother to read the ctlseqs.ms file which I updated for
XFree86 xterm. (That was done at least a year before konsole was written).

konsole's been partially fixed for a few months, but konsole doesn't report a
different version number (so I could not possibly tell you how to see whether
the detail that I'm describing has been addressed in your copy of konsole ;-).

there's an up-to-date entry for 'konsole' in

ftp://dickey.his.com/ncurses/terminfo.src.gz
