This is a good idea and SHOULD work.  It's also the first thing I tried.  
Unfortunately, vi, vnews, and vn all responded with "bad termcap entry."
Interestingly enough, the blasted "cm" entry seemed to cause all the
trouble.  If I gave it a shorter (but bogus) cm entry, all the above
programs had no complaint--even though the entry was bogus!  Sigh...

In any case, many thanks to all those who responded.  There seems to
be a consensus that looks something like this (more or less):
