xenix curses

[Phil Eschallier]

hey net-worlders ... a quick question.

using xenix/286 2.2.3, i am trying to port over some curses based programs
originally written on a at&t sys 5 rel 2 system.  i can't seem to get the
terminfo style curses to work quite right.  for some reason, when running
a program that uses the curses package, the it will not recognize a 'P'
(uppercase) but it will take any other character from the keyboard.  the
'P' comes across as a '^@' -- has anyone had this problem or know of a
fix?? (note: i went back to 2.2.1 and observed the same behavior!).

now if i use the termcap curses under xenix, all works well but the code
i am working with is very system 5 oriented to life would be much easier
if the terminfo curses could be made to work properly!

any help would be much appreciated.  response by email preferred.
