The terminal initialization string (termcap "ti") and deinit string (termcap
"te") are sent by the following code in screen.c:

/*
 * Initialize terminal
 */
	public void
init()
{
	tputs(sc_init, sc_height, putchr);
}

/*
 * Deinitialize terminal
 */
	public void
deinit()
{
	tputs(sc_deinit, sc_height, putchr);
}

I did not see the previous articles in this thread, but if you are
using xterm, the titeInhibit resource controls whether or not xterm
honors the ti and te sequences.
