with good reason (the forms get too crowded to do a "good" job with the
magic cookie, even if that were well supported by different flavors of curses).

Maybe - I don't have a real wyse50 handy (though one of the emulators I
have at work does claim to do that - I'll try to keep it in mind for a free
moment). I've been testing with a modification to xterm. Hadn't thought
to see what slang does, but I just ran a quick check (on my test xterm),
and it doesn't look very good (probably no better than the experimental
code I hacked in last month for ncurses -- I'll have to try that out &
see).

no. 4.1 only has an unusable fragment of code for magic cookies.
In the post 4.1 patches, I ifdef'd that (made it a configure option later),
corrected some bugs and implemented a crude display loop to force it to
show things correctly. Time permitting, I'll optimize that.
