termcap test routine???

[Doug Gwyn]

I find "vi" is a very good termcap tester.  Most other screen-oriented
programs I have encountered have not used termcap correctly in some
cases.

Here is a cute trick for people who are writing termcap-driven programs;
include the following dummy terminal type in /etc/termcap and set
TERM=debug to see what your program is actually doing:
