My question:

> Under SunOS 4.x if I run some random "full-screen" program
> such as 'more' or 'vi', the previous state of the xterm window
> is restored on exiting. Under Slowaris 2.3, I can't get this to
> happen. What gives?

Thanks to:
        Kevin.Sheehan@uniq.com.au (Kevin Sheehan {Consulting Poster Child})
        Casper Dik <casper@fwi.uva.nl>
and especially
        <aidan@cse.unsw.edu.au>
whose answer I quote:

        You need a correct terminfo entry for xterm.
        One is supplied with the X11R6 sources in xc/programs/xterm/terminfo
        and you install it by saying "tic xc/programs/xterm/terminfo".
