							|  | @ -3,6 +3,38 @@ Why does st not handle utmp entries? | |||
| 
 | ||||
| Use the excellent tool of utmp[0] for this task. | ||||

| Some _random program_ complains that st is unknown/not | ||||
| recognised/unsupported/whatever! | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| It means that st doesn’t have any terminfo entry on your system. Chances are | ||||
| you did not make install. If you just want to test it without installing it, | ||||
| you can manualy run tic -s st.info in st dir. It will compile st.info into a | ||||
| fully working local terminfo description. You can delete it when you’re done. | ||||
| -- | ||||
| Nothing works, and nothing is said about an unknown terminal! | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| * Some programs just assume they’re running in xterm i.e. they don’t rely on | ||||
|   terminfo. What you see is the current state of the “xterm compliance”. | ||||
| * Some programs don’t complain about the lacking st description and default to | ||||
|   another terminal. In that case see the question about terminfo. | ||||
| -- | ||||
| I get some weird glitches/visual bug on _random program_! | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Try lauching it with a different TERM: $ TERM=xterm myapp. toe(1) will give | ||||
| you a list of available terminals, but you’ll most likely switch between | ||||
| xterm, st or st-256color. The default value for TERM can be changed in | ||||
| config.h (TNAME). | ||||
| -- | ||||
| How do I scroll back up? | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Invoke st with a screen multiplexer like GNU screen[0] or tmux[1]. | ||||
| st -e screen works better for text reflowing. To enter screen’s scroll | ||||
| back mode aka “copy mode”, it’s C-a ESC. You probably want defscrollback | ||||
| 10000 in your ~/.screenrc too. | ||||
