So far:
```

:~/Desktop% tput dl; echo $?

:~/Desktop% tput DL; echo $?

0~/Desktop% tput sr; echo $?
:~/Desktop% tput wi; echo $?
tput: unknown terminfo capability 'wi'
4
:~/Desktop% tput cs; echo $?
%p1%d;%p2%dr0
:~/Desktop% tput cS; echo $?
tput: unknown terminfo capability 'cS'
4
```

Seems like Mac Os doesn't support "wi", but the condition is still going to
be true.

```
tty->line_ins_del_ok = 0;
```

make the emacs really smooth w/o any flickering.

*If you get an email from me outside of the 9-5 it is *not* because I'm
always on or expect an immediate response from you; it is because of work
flexibility

.  Evening and weekend emails are a sign I allocated some regular working
hours for other things (such as family, gym, friends,...).  And I encourage
you to feel free to do the same.
