Most everyone suggested a SYSV vs. BSD thing, however,
the problem doesn't occur on my cmdtool's or shelltool's
with scrolling enabled as suggested by SIseminger@atd.gmeds.com.
The problem involves the smcup and rmcup capabilities
for the terminfo file. nikos@jimmy.harvard.edu sent me a
terminfo file for xterm's which works, and is included here.
Again, thanks,

ORIGINAL QUESTION
Hello, I need a quick (hopefully) pointer.
Here is the situation.
I edit a file (vi or xe), I exit the editor, and the screen is
cleared or contains remnants of the file. However, I have seen
it where the screen is restored, ie. the contents are just like
it was before the edit session.
For the same user (mine), the screen is restored on a 4.1.3_U1
system but not on the SunOS 5 systems.
What I would like to know is where this is controlled. I have looked
at vi, stty, terminfo, termcap and Xdefaults. The situation occurs
with different editors, shells(csh and sh), and terminals(xterm and
sun-cmd).
Again, a simple pointer to what might control this would be appreciated.
Some info:
UE 4000 SunOS 5.5.1
Sparc 10 SunOS 5.6
Sparc 10 SunOS 4.1.3_U1
xe is a commercial xedit clone. (uniXedit)
We have a large NIS domain of 4.1.3_U1 and 5.5.1 systems.
Thanks,
