Can you explain how that would address users SSH'ing from another box
where TERM=rxvt into a Solaris system whose native curses lib (or
terminfo for that matter) and thereby all apps linked against it -
including ours - don't know a thing about TERM=rxvt?

Also, you didn't care to answer my question on your objection reasons
for an easy dependency on CSWncurses (which I perceive as a rather
disturbing behavior of yours in general, i.e. picking out subsections of
an email which you decide to reply to while avoiding other parts).
