[gentoo-user] screenrc configuration

[Mick]

Hi All,

Following a recent thread which touched upon the screen buffer I had another 
look at my screenrc and I think that it needs improving.  When I launch 
screen I get an error message at the bottom of the terminal:

/etc/screenrc: termcapinfo: two or three arguments required

This is relevant entries of my /etc/screenrc:

# XTERM TWEAKS
# ===============================================================

# xterm understands both im/ic and doesn't have a status line.
# Note: Do not specify im and ic in the real termcap/info file as
# some programs (e.g. vi) will not work anymore.
