Hi!
By 'messing up' my zsh-setup I found a strangely different behaviour
of the following two cases:
1) Normal setup TERM=something_existing
zsh starts and ZLE works,
NOW I SET TERM to something unknown,
(I get an errormessage)
Single-Line-ZLE works
2) STARTUP of a zsh with UNKNOWN TERM
*** NO ZLE WORKS (correctly) ***
- delete (backspace) echo 'BLANKs' and move RIGHT !
- ^U echos as many blanks as there wee typed chars
- ^L rewrites the 'Line', but without Newline/Carriage-Return
It seems not to depend on the Version, as far back as 2.6.
Clueless, Stucki
PS.: Does somebody have a 'program' or 'script' which tests the existence
of the 'current'(or a given) Terminal-Description.

OK, at least that works correctly.
:2) STARTUP of a zsh with UNKNOWN TERM

I remember doing something about this recently - someone (you?) reported
this a while back. I must not have sent a patch in. My brain has done too
much milage and needs an overhaul.
