    Hi guys,

    from AIX 5.3 TL10 and later the xterm behavior is different as TL9 and previous releases.

    In new releases, with the more command , the text is cleared when finished scrolling down and is not seen again until repeat the command.

    I saw new /usr/lib/terminfo/xterm.ti file and the new xterm binary file
    while the older has xterm included in /usr/lib/terminfo/dec.ti file and
    the behavior is similar to vt100.

    If user with older xterm, connect with ssh protocol to newer xterm, what is the behavior ?
    They have the same terminal characteristics or change ?

    I am interested any feedback you can provide.
    Regards.
    Silvia.
