Well, that did it, I think. I had gone under the assumption that the
termcap info was correct, but in fact it wasn't. I converted the
terminfo file supplied by the xterm distro into a termcap file and
used the xterm-256color entry. Perhaps in the next xterm release, the
terminfo file could be tic'd for those of us still using termcap?
