I have been looking for a termcap for cursor attributes. The only reference
that I can find is in the termcap/terminfo "equivalence" list that was
posted some time back, the gives the terminfo keys cnorm, civis, and cvvis
and the tercap equivalents ve, vi, and vs. Is this use of these caps
well understood? The manual page describes vs and ve as "entering/leaving
open/visual mode", which is a rather subjective description. What is the
correct interpretation for vs/ve, and if its more than just setting cursor
attributes, is there a cap to set the cursor attributes? "vi" will do to
make the cursor invisible, as I don't see it being used elsewhere.
