Hi,
one of my scripts is using tput in a bash shell sript and checks
the rep feature of the XTerm.
Now I see wrong line letters and indeed if I check line graphic q
tput does throw error messages if hex is used:
tput rep 0x71 10
tput: unknown terminfo capability '0x71'
qqqqqqqqqq
if I use decimal numbers it works
tput rep 113 10
qqqqqqqqqq
in older ncurses versions hex numbers are accepted without such
error messages.
