Re: console -u option -- LINUX5250


us = underline start.  (there is also a ue)

tn5250 looks to see if you've got a "us" defined in your termcap.  If you
do, it assumes that your terminal is capable of displaying underlines,
and therefore does NOT print underscores.  (instead, it tells ncurses to
print "true underlines")

So, if you're looking to enable underscores (as the -u option did) you
want to, actually, remove the us from your termcap (or terminfo or
whatever you're using)

Perhaps this'll get you started in the right direction...  If you need
specifics, I'll let one of the Linux people on the list help you, since
without research, I only know what works under FreeBSD :)
