YES! I knew it was something simple and clever like that but I
couldn't find it. Thanks Ronald (and des for posting the original).

To be clear, I am NOT asking for a backout ... IIRC in the thread that
discussed this issue there were quite a few people who thought that
FreeBSD not clearing the screen was a POLA violation since that's what
linux does, and it's what most people are used to.

What I would suggest is that whichever way we ultimately go with it
that we put a clearly worded example in both the termcap file and
termcap.5 that shows how to do the OTHER way. And yes, I will
volunteer to write both of them once there is a consensus.

FWIW, what I actually did that is working so far is:
cat ~/.termcap
xterm|xterm-color:ti@:te@:tc=xterm-new


hth,

Doug
