Hi,

 	I recently downloaded the newest version of KA9Q from simtel20, and am
having a _real_hard_time_ getting Unix to understand what kind of terminal I am
on...  Seems that ansi, vt100, vt52, vt102 all come close (ie, clear the screen
OK), but have a variety of problems in vi.....  Most common is the cursor seems
a bit confused as to where it is (sometimes it is 1 line up, 1 col left, or
both), or a scroll backwards results in a lot of text being scrambled on the
top line, and the other 23 lines not changing.....

	I have spent the last few hours trying to write a termcap, but having
no idea what the specs are, I've been tearing my hair out....

	I am running the 890421.1 version of KA9Q.  DOS3.3, with standard
ansi.sys loaded.  Standard IBM PC XT, with std IBM mono card & monitor.....

	If anyone has a good termcap for this, can you mail me a copy????

					Thanx mucho for all of your help, 
						in advance!
					James
