In GNU Emacs 18.55.2 of Tue Aug  7 1990 on mumps (RISC/os4.0)

I think I have a reasonable way to handle terminal.el with terminfo.
Unfortunately, my elisp is weak.  If anybody is interested in getting
this done faster than I'll be able to, please do so, and post your diffs
to this list.

Basically, find a "convenient" directory, and make sure `evt.ti' is in
there.  If not, create it and `tic' it.  evt.ti is a terminfo file for
emacs-virtual containing all the entries except for row, column, and
ind@ (termcap's ns boolean).  Whenever a request comes in for an
emacs-virtual terminal, make sure the terminal is called something like
emacs-virtual-79x22, and then see if there is an evt-79x22.ti file in
the convienient directory.  If so, assume it's been tic'ed.  Otherwise,
create the file with the following entries:

	evt-79x22|emacs-virtual-79x22,
		cols#79, lines#22,
		use=evt,
	evt-79x22-ns|emacs-virtual-79x22-ns,
		ind@,
		use=evt-79x22,

and then run tic on the file.

Voila.

For what it's worth, here's evt.ti:

	evt|emacs-virtual,
		mir, xon,
		bel=^P^G, clear=^P\f, cr=^P^A, cub1=^P^B, cud1=^P\n,
		cuf1=^P^F, cup=^P=%p1%'\s'%+%c%p2%'\s'%+%c,
		dch=^Pd%p1%'\s'%+%c, dch1=^Pd!, dl=^P^K%p1%'\s'%+%c,
		dl1=^P^K!, ed=^PC, el=^Pc, home=^P=\s,
		ich=^P_%p1%'\s'%+%c, ich1=^P_!, il=^P^O%p1%'\s'%+%c,
		il1=^P^O!, ind=^P\n, nel=\n,

If anybody has a less-bletcherous solution to this problem, I'd like to
know about it.

Regards,

Hokey
