Are there groups here dev/passing sharing additions to what WP provides?
I tried writing a WP terminal def for tvi920 (the three tvi* 's that come with
it don't work on 920), and found that there was a somewhat less of a one-to-one
correspondence between WP terminal defs and termcap/terminfo.  

Comments appreciated either to the group or by email.
