	I don't understand this: we have some vt100 terminals. To generate
a TAB on the screen you should use the sequence Ctrl-I or Esc-I. 
	If I put "\EI" in the "ta" field of termcap some programs will work
properly ( mille game ), some will not work ( vi ). If I put "^I" in the "ta"
field, the opposite will happen.
	I made a discovery that if I put "\EI^I" in the "ta" field, everything 
works fine.

	Why?
