I have an obscure terminal which uses a screen cell location to store
information to generate bold-face characters; to generate a bold-face
string, a bold-face start character (displayed as a space) would be stored
in one location, the following string would be in bold face, and the
stop bold-face character (also displayed as a space) would be at the end.

I am having difficulty generating a termcap entry which will use this
boldface capability for standout mode; in particular, when I use

	so = <bold-face start>
	se = <bold-face end>
	ug = 1		/* to leave room for the single attribute byte */

curses becomes very confused (4.2 BSD).

Any help would be appreciated, even to say that this terminal cannot be
suppoted under termcap.  Reply by mail if possible; I'll post a summary
of what answer(s) I receive.  Thanks in advance.
