redisplay screen after editor exits

It seems that before some full screen display programs like
vi, less, top, etc. exit, they print the "termcap end"
escape sequence. The command tool in SunView seems to 
recognize this and redraw the original screen, which shows
the previous interactive session. Is there a way to do this while
running screen or some other program that runs on an ascii terminal?
Post, or email replies (and all flames) by 10/31/90 and I'll summarize.
Patches to screen welcome.
