I would like to write a new term entry for heath-19 terminal with 39
lines on the screen (as emulated by MS-Kermit here). Having read all
I have access to on terminfo and termcap I've only come to conclude the
whole thing is a mess with it's roots in teh ATT/BSD schism.

But anyway, I can write a local terminfo entry and instal it privately 
(with the TERMINFO environment variable) which is all good and well for
a few screen programs (vi being one of them). But most things evidently
use the termcap database in /etc. This I can't write to, nor can I find
a way to point to a private termcap entry of my own. 

Any advice would make me feel very happy. I don't want to hassle the
administrators for every little quircky thing I want to change on
a termcap entry.

Thanks,

Bernd.
