ok.  There's no infocmp (someday perhaps - I'd like to, but there keep 
coming up bigger bugs).  It's still ncurses underneath, but dressed up as 
termcap - with the termcap data stored in a hashed database file.

There aren't any tools for showing the content of the terminal description 
on FreeBSD, other than seeing the $TERM and looking in the source file for 
the corresponding termcap under (some symbolic link) 
/etc/termcap{something}.  There's a ".db" file which contains the actual 
data, but the source is readable.

Sounds as if $TERM isn't set to rxvt there, though.  If I know the $TERM, 
I can lookup the entry tonight and give some better advice.
