Long commands on multiple lines

[spam.spam.spam.spam at free.fr]

OK. I found the rxvt-unicode.terminfo file in the source code archive:
$ find . -name "*.terminfo"
./doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo

I use tic on this file.
Now I have the compiled file in:
~/.terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode

But the problem is again here: long commands are on a single line.

And my TERM variable is has a correct value:
$ echo $TERM
rxvt-unicode

Do you understand why the longs commands aren't on multiple lines?

Well, of course. You tell programs that you're using rxvt-unicode, but
actually provide the configuration for vt100. No wonder the programs
get confused.

Of course it is possible. rxvt-unicode comes with a terminfo file that
has the correct configuration in it. Just compile it with tic, set TERM
to rxvt-unicode (or rxvt-unicode-256color if compiled with that) and
everything should work.
