Has anyone figured out a way to add terminfo support to the screen windowing
command?  What I am currently mulling over is adding some code which basically
writes the termcap entry generated to a file, sets TERMINFO to the screen
socket directory, invokes captoinfo on the written termcap entity, invokes
tic on the resulting terminfo file and continues on from there.

The problem of course is the 'sets TERMINFO to the screen socket directory'
step .  I dont know if I can set the environment variable for the current
process.

Sigh - boy, TERMCAP was easier to deal with when dynamically generating
info...
