I must be missing something obvious, but how does one coerce gnu emacs
into using /etc/termcap for things like arrow keys?  I'm using it under
SunOS 4.1, occasionally dialup with an H19, occasionally with xterm.  Any
help would be appreciated (anything to get me out of using vi! :-) ).

ps - Alternately, and perhaps even preferably, how tough would it be to
     get gnu emacs to use wordstar key conventions?  I've been a cp/m hacker
     for many years now, and wordstar is burned into my brain.
