You also fixed a bug in the start- and end-insert/replace mode strings
(smir and rmir).  I reported that bugfix a while back but it hasn't
shown up in the released terminfo directory yet.

While I was looking in the 2392 manual, I added memory lock and unlock
(meml and memu) to my ansi description.  Emacs doesn't care about
these, but some third-party programs are happier to have them.

	# memory lock and unlock for your ansi terminal
	meml=\E[>2h, memu=\E[>2l,

One drawback to non-HP terminal modes is that xdb, the symbolic
debugger on the s800, really wants you to have an HP terminal.  You
can use it on other terminal types, but with them you won't have the
whizzy split-screen source-file windows.  However, it's somewhat easy
to flip the terminal back and forth between modes---you can change it
with an escape sequence sent to the screen.  Changing modes wipes the
screen clean, though, so save anything that's important before
flipping to or from ANSI mode.
