Let's take a look, what is the behaviour in an xterm window: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- airwin@kempelen:~ % echo -n Hello World\! % 257 Hello World!airwin@kempelen:~ % % 258 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now I turn "Auto Wraparound" off in xterm: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- airwin@kempelen:~ % echo -n Hello World\! % 257 Hello World!airwin@kempelen:~ % 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^ the cursor is here Now with "Auto Wraparound" and "Reverse Wraparound" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- airwin@kempelen:~ % echo -n Hello World\! % 257 Hello World!airwin@kempelen:~ % % 257 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^ the cursor is here Is there a way to correct this problem? (Assuming a perfect terminfo/termcap database) Irrespectively of the terminal. -- ____ ____________________________________________________ /____| NEMETH, ERVIN |____________________________________________________| // < airwin @ inf.bme.hu > http://www.inf.bme.hu/~airwin || || "Nonsense.
