I have the same problem - though I *did* use resize to change the TERMCAP
environment variable. elvis just seems to ignore the li# - field (but it
reads $TERMCAP - after 'export TERMCAP=foo' it chokes ...)
while I'm at it: insert mode doesn't seem to work right; with TERM=console
each time I enter a character within elvis an extra space is added after
the cursor. I removed :im and it works. Is this a known bug ?
I'm using version 0.96c with /etc/termcap from the 0.96 rootdisk.
