Hello Ben,
Thanks for responding.
I am trying to get the terminal shell history to display as it was
before entering vim (which is what happens with vi)
1. When I do this, set t_ti= t_te=, it does not clear the screen on
exit, but I see the contents of the file that I opened with vim.
Without the above "set", I get a blank terminal on exit. with the
above "set", I get the contents of the file that I opened with vim.
2. The same happens, When I follow the method specified at the url
http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/noaltscreen.html about using a
different terminfo file.
infocmp -C rxvt-unicode-noalt
# Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /home/j/.terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode-noalt

echo $TERM
rxvt-unicode-256color
--(/var/pkgmk/distfiles/vim)
export TERM=rxvt-unicode-noalt
3. adding the line: au VimLeave * :!clear, gives a blank screen on exiting vim.
Thanks
Joe
