	Ha!  Then why don't we see more termcap questions in comp.os.unix?  We
certainly see enough requests for TERMTABLE entries here...

	But Dave, you still haven't (can't?) tell me how to get the !%^&*@!%@
SMG routines to tell me what the ******* F1 key is going to send to my read
routine when someone hits it....

	You are *intimately* familiar with why I can not wait for SMG$ to

	Eagerly awaiting a method of strangling the info out of SMG$...
