If someone with access to a real vt100 and/or vt100 manual can confirm
whether this string is wrong, do please reassign this bug to ncurses, so
I'll take care of it.
I would stress, though, that this should only be done if the person so
doing has come up with an _authoritative_ answer---and that doesn't just
mean saying it like you mean it. :-) Otherwise I end up bugging Eric
Raymond with that turns out to be a non-bug---and Eric has been very
helpful when it comes to Debian + ncurses, so I certainly don't want to
send him on unnecessary wild-goose-chases.
Mike.
