Mornin' all,
Right - I've had enough of this - it's really pissing me off now. On
my machine at home, i get the following behviour:
ri:~# echo $TERM
xterm
ri:~# foobar~~~~~
where each of the ~'s is generated by pressing home, end, delete, pgup
and pgdn respectively, and when i change the term type to linux i get:
ri:~# echo $TERM
linux
ri:~# ~~~~foobar
for the same sequence of keys (i.e. home works, the rest just print ~
and beep at me).
Now, I've spent a whole day looking at my /etc/termcap before I realised
that I should be looking at the terminfo files instead. But they seem to
be fine too. So what the heck is wrong? Also, the fricking euro symbol
won't work on the console. I just get a white block.
ri:~# echo $LANG
en_IE at euro
ri:~# echo $LC_ALL
en_IE at euro
ri:~# echo -n '€' | od -x
0000000 00a4
0000001
ri:~#
where the white block was gotten by typing altgr-4 (although it probably
won't come out as such in your mail reader - but trust me - it's the
thing between the ''s). At this stage I'm just thourghly confused. Any
pointers anyone?
TIA,
Steve
