The problem: you have a program that expects to be running on a particular
terminal type (tvi925 in this case), but you want to be able to run screen
based (i.e. curses) applications from any kind of terminal - e.g. vt100/xterm
etc.

So what I want is something that will interpret the incoming escape sequences
(from the dumb program) and convert them into the correct escape sequences
for my current terminal type....any ideas ?

thanx for any info/pointers
