:
: TERMCAP can be set to either the name of a termcap file (a file
: containing termcap definitions for many terminals), or a literal
: definition for a single terminal. In your case, TERMCAP is defined for
: very nearly the dumbest possible terminal definition.
It is my understanding that the problem is caused by xterm itself.
Since many people have pointed out this xterm flaw to me, I have made
changes to slang 0.99-35 such that it will ignore TERMCAP if TERM is
xterm.
