continuing story of the bunged up popups with Japanese [was: "Re: LYNX-DEV scrollok and lynx_force_repaint"

[Nelson Henry Eric]

Grabbed a few minutes this past weekend to ding around with my terminfo
and termcap entries.  More than acsc (or ac), enacs (or eA) may be related
to the `problem'.  It is recommended that you remove "\E)0" from enacs
if you are in a Japanese environment.  Putting that back in didn't change
the shifting around, but it did change the characters that I get for the
box.  If I have "\E)0", as in the standard vt100 entry, the box is outlined
with "q" for the top and bottom, "x" for the sides, and clockwise from the
upper-right, "k", "j", "n", "l" for the corners.  All of them seem like
double-strike characters.  If I have it out, the box is a heavy, centered
dot for the top, bottom and left side, except for the second to last character
on the left side and the bottom-left corner.  The right side is a very thick
"|", almost a rectangle.  Strangely, if I press ^L, suddenly the left side
of the box becomes the same as the right side (thick "|"s).  Removing enacs
entirely has the same effect of just removing the "\E)0" part.

I note a few alternative termcap entries for eA, like \200, \E(B\E)1,
\E(0.  I didn't have time to try them out.  I'll try perhaps this coming
weekend.  Finally my question, what is eA=\E)0 doing, and what might be
a reasonable substitute for it?

My acsc (terminfo) and ac (termcap) entries are the standard vt100
"acsc=``aaffggjjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz{{||}}~~,".  What kind
of substitution would make a resonable test of effects on the box
characters?
