Are we kidding here? > Is this a NeXT boo-boo or a Hack boo-boo. Hmmm... OOPS is the classic error return code from UNIX curses tgoto. Could something between TERM, TERMCAP, termcap, and the fancy NeXT stuff be confusing it? I don't know NeXT, but it looks like OOPS is being output from the tgoto, and "Hack needs CL." is an error message detected after the fact and without a \n after the tgoto output. BTW, CL could refer to an extended termcap attribute, such as CO and CF for cursor on/off on some UNIX systems.
