[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]
When a console-mode Emacs initializes its terminal, it sends the escape
sequence to switch to the alternate screen twice. This causes problems
when running under screen (and maybe other terminal programs as well):
exiting or suspending Emacs completely clears the screen. I have
attached a patch that fixes this.
