+                      v1
 here is a picture of the xterm-256color shell, versus TERM=xterm mc:
+i'm using a Mac with the Serial program. however i am not sure if that's causing issues. the "worst" issue i've seen with this TERM variable is that some escape characters aren't being handled, but i am working on fixing the PS1 variable.
+i'm using a Mac with the Serial program. however i am not sure if that's causing issues. the "worst" issue i've seen with this TERM variable is that some escape characters aren't being handled, but i am working on fixing the PS1 variable. it is currently defined as
+PS1=\[\033[01;31m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$
 i have also contacted the serial program developer just in case it is related to escape sequences. i find it strange this seems to effect the "padding" characters that homogenise the "dead" (non-navigable) parts of the screen (whether this padding occurs in the directory contents having fewer  entries [lines] than the number of available rows, or in the panels of prompts)
