... then I thought "why am I using ncurses?".  I've just built without
the '--with-screen=ncursesw' so it defaults to tcap/terminfo and all
seems well.  I can't quite remember why I've been using ncurses, I'm
sure there *was* a reason once!  It may have been that I copied across
my Sun Solaris build options many moons ago.

Anyway I seem to be sorted now, thanks all.
