Is that the terminfo on the remote system?  I'm using exactly the same X
display (server) and terminal (rxvt on Solaris) at the 'viewing' end for
both the old system that works and the new system that doesn't.

Running 'infocmp' on the remote system in my rxvt window I get (along with
lots more of course):-

    op=\E[39;49m, rc=\E8, rev=\E[7m, ri=\EM, rin=\E[%p1%dT,

so it looks OK.

I may have some other things to check on though as my .vilerc file
doesn't seem to be being picked up at the moment.  I'll do some more
checks.

Thanks for the feedback.
