+[7] Why can't my terminal hide the cursor?
+
+ Netris uses the termcap library to look up the "vi" and "ve"
+ capabilities, which make the cursor invisible/visible
+ respectively. These capabilities aren't very consistently
+ reported among un*xes, so I use compiled-in vt220 codes for
+ several vt100-like terminals. Most emulators probably won't
+ support the codes, but they'll probably ignore them quietly.
+
+ Try setting the TERM environment variable to "vt100" or "vt220"
+ before running Netris. If that doesn't work, your terminal
+ probably doesn't support cursor invisibility.
+
+[8] Occasionally when clearing a line, the display jerks, scrolling
+ very awkwardly. How can I fix it?
+
+ You can try running ./configure with the "--curses-hack" option
+ and recompile. This utilizes a non-portable hack which will only
+ work with certain curses libraries, so it's disabled by default.
+
+ All screen updating is done by your curses library, which means
+ it's not something that Netris can control. Netris never tells
+ curses to scroll, but curses does so automatically in order to
+ optimize screen updates. This hack modifies curses's internal
+ variables, making it think that your terminal doesn't know how to
+ region-scroll.
