I would like a concrete example. It is no trick for me to point slang
and ncurses to the exact same terminfo description. I've have seen
slang "compensate" for _missing_ information, but I don't know of a
situation where it overrides some capability I have specifically entered
into a terminal description. I see nothing wrong with a program making
assumptions when the necessary information is not available. However,
if slang is not just making assumptions about missing information, but
actually overriding directives, then I will agree a problem exists with
the library.

^^^^^^^^ ^^
I am not propping any curses implementation up. I am attempting to write
a "correct" description of the terminal emulation's capabilities (Perhaps I
need to mention that I use the Japanese version set to receive/transmit EUC,
occasionally SJIS, and I set "full-color" [=16 colors] on. I set devt with
setterm (setterm -x EUC) so it probably does not enter into the discussion.)
I have one unique terminfo file named "ttypro"; I do not write or use one
terminal description for ncurses and another for slang.

There were no previous postings _on the topic_. The previous glitch found
in relation to slang had to do with key-input, not display, and the reason
I was "puzzled about things that didn't quite work" had to do with my
misunderstanding of the program "screen." When I do not run "screen," I
know of no existing problem I have with slang, or ncurses for that matter.
