You're welcome.  It maybe an ANSI-ism but I think all C libraries
should come with a header file that describes them to the compiler.

Sure, I'll send you a copy in a seperate message.  But the one I use,
and this termcap.h is for, is called termcapLII.lzh and it's on RTSI.
In particular, PC, ospeed, and the crtby* may be different with a
different library.

Mind you, I'm not entirely happy with the coco3 entry included with
that termcap, but it's the one I'm using and thus the one Curses is
set up to use.
  
So, it may be a bad thing that I've never actually tried driving a
real terminal with it. ;-)

Humm, I've seen ESR's termcap file before and have always regarded it
as pretty good, but it's been a long time since I tried to debug a
termcap entry.

What terminal(s) are you trying to use?
