"screen" doesn't change termcap or terminfo entries "on the fly";
I already said that in an earlier article.  And it doesn't use
"curses"; why don't you first read the entire article thread before
posting a reply?

By the way, I think it is better to give applications running under
control of screen (or a similar program) a chance to decide for
themselves how they handle certain unsupported capabilities (i.e.
whether to ignore or simulate them) than to do that automatically in
an intermediate layer.
