Hello, people.  Here are some corrections I made to at386 and relative
terminfo descriptions to improve the working of GNU Emacs and others.
This was applied on ISC 2.0.1 release.  Comments welcome.

1) Removed xt and ht=\t : they trigger bugs somewhere.
2) Added km : we can generate 8-bits with a suitable ttymap.
3) Corrected indn from \E[%P1%dS to \E[%p1%dS : a real bug.
4) Removed invis and is2 : the sequences used are undocumented.
5) Added ri=\E[T : it was probably forgotten.
5) Corrected rin from \E[S to \E[%p1%dT : a real bug.

I've been recently exposed to Sun, Microport and Interactive Unixes.
It seems that none of these suppliers were able to provide a correct
termcap/terminfo description of their own console.  This is rather
amazing, and slightly deceiving.
