Hi Randall,

Oh it's a problem alright.  I'm just not sure the exact source and
whether this functionality is in conflict with something else that 5.3-1
was trying to fix.  I looked at the email archives for discussions 
surrounding terminfo and couldn't find anything current, except for 
Chuck's announcement and credit given to Thomas Dickey for some Cygwin
terminal changes.  Hm, guess I should've checked cygwin-apps too.  OK,
that's on my list.

Your interpretation of "updating" and "reverting" below is correct.  It
works for me with terminfo 5.2-3 and doesn't work with 5.3-1.  I'm using 
vim 6.1.300-1 in a cmd.exe window running bash (2.05b-8).

Larry

Does the presence of quote marks indicate you don't consider this a problem?

The wording of the "updating ..." and "reverting ..." sentences is 
ambiguous to me. Are you saying that you do see the failure to restore 
the original window contents when Vim is quit or suspended under 
terminfo-5.3-1 and see the proper restore behavior under 5.2-3?
