as far as I know, it has no bce support. (Someone sent terminal
descriptions for this some time ago, e.g., "nsterm"). iirc, that's the one
that sets its $TERM to "xterm-color", which has never had bce...
Ahh. Hm. And if a terminal doesn't support bce, then the only alternative is
to fill with spaces? (I'm trying to fix up my copy of nsterm-16color to match
what Terminal.app does ("Apple_Terminal" is *awful*, and I already have a few
critical fixes implemented).)
yes. I've some test-screens in vttest (in the xterm-related part),
which can be used for a quick check. The tack program also has a
screen for this, though it doesn't exercise as many cases.
