Where's the problem? i don't understand this fully (perhaps bart or someone can give a more depth explanation), but i believe that unless you specifically compile zsh with ncurses (or have a version that was compiled to work with ncurses) it uses some sort of system of its own. you might try putting: export TERMINFO=/etc/terminfo (or whatever your terminfo stuff is) or export TERMCAP=/etc/termcap (terminfo is better if it works) you might also have to re-export $TERM - like: if [ "$TERM" = "nettle" ]; then export TERM=nettle fi i'd mess around with $TERMCAP, $TERMINFO and $TERM and see what works best. i had a question about something similar a few weeks ago, so you might check the recent archives for responses on the issue from those wiser than i. w -- Sintax error in config file!
