I am trying to run a cursesX application on our new DecStation 5000, and have
found that there is no termlib entry for xterm.  I therefore took the
termcap entry and did a tic -v on it.  While the tic command seemed to work ok
(it created an xterm directory in /usr/lib/terminfo/x), when I try running
my application I get
	"Sorry, I don't know how to deal with your 'xterm' terminal" coming from 
initscr.
	Why isn't it finding the xterm entry in termlib??  
Please respond directly to me and thanks for your help
