We run it on a Sun 4 just fine.  You have to run it from a Shelltool
instead of a command tool due to bugs in the command tool window.  Try
and run any curses/terminfo/termcap program in a command tool and you'll
see that things don't work.  Run it from a shell tool and it'll work
just fine.  We've got a patch in our elm to check for a TERM of 'sun-cmd'.
When it sees that, it automatically execs a shell tool.
