This one seems to work, I haven't testet it too intensively though,

Thank you.  I tried it and none of the problems I noticed with the other  
entries, appeared.  I'll use zsh 3.0.2 with this entry now, and if I notice  
any problem, I will report it.

The zsh-entry you sent me is exactly the one I have in my /etc/termcap.  I  
think its actually the one thats supplied by Next, since I don't remember  
having modified my entry.  So this doesn't change my problem.

I tried the "vs100" and found out, that the specific update bug, I reported  
is fixed by vs100, but then another update bug appears: when inserting into  
the first line of a command thats longer than one line, the part from the  
cursor to the end of the line is not updated.  So my guess is, that a fix of  
next's vt100 termcap entry is possible, by taking some part out of the vs100  
termcap, but I am completely unfamiliar with vt100 escape codes and termcap  
entries.  Maybe someone who knows about these things could fix it?  Thanks in  
advance for any efforts!  I would really like to always use the newes zsh  
version!

which I think is better than the one NeXTStep ships with.  There's  
also a "vs100" that also seems to work very well.

Let me know if either one helps.... or if a fix has been found

The problem I stated will appear when the following Termcap entry is in effect:

Nextstep screen update problem with zsh 3.0.2

[Robert F Tobler]

I already reported about a screen update problem I have using zsh 3.0.2 under  
i386-next-nextstep3.3 (it does NOT appear with zsh 3.0.0):

When I start zsh using: zsh -f and then enter my personal prompt string:

PROMPT="%B%D{%d-%b-%y} %*%b %S%~%s
%m:%n%(#.#.>) "

(there is a line-feed after the %s), the following problem appears:
If I am in the home directory (this is to ensure that the prompt string has a  
certain length), then I enter 20 normal characters, then I type Control-a to  
go
to the beginning of the line, and then I type more characters.
When typing or deleting the 2nd to 11th of these additional characters, the  
commandline is printed after one additional linefeed, and some of the  
characters of the prompt overlap with the command line.

Since I like the zsh very much, I hope you can fix this problem.
