The `acting as if set' variable was termok: this is supposed to get set to TERM_NOUP if the terminal can't go up and to TERM_BAD if the terminal can't be used. The idea behind it was exactly that if SINGLE_LINE_ZLE was not explicitly set and the terminal became a fully usable sort then it would behave as if the option was unset again. I don't see why termok and shortterm shouldn't be merged together, they seem to be doing more or less the same thing. In fact, if I remember right setting termok to TERM_NOUP should have the effect desired of shortterm. (If not, it's not doing its job properly anyway.) -- Peter Stephenson Tel: +49 33762 77366 WWW: http://www.ifh.de/~pws/ Fax: +49 33762 77413 Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron --- Institut fuer Hochenergiephysik Zeuthen DESY-IfH, 15735 Zeuthen, Germany.
