Think I have it...do you want to give this a try with your misbehaving
program...if it works I'll upload a new package. It appears that neither \008
or ^H are really correct for 'le'. Screen is set up to be a vt100/ansi
emulation and uses ^H as a backspace. The rules for doing a backspace are
different from a cursor left (really only if the cursor is past the last
column)...and this seems to be hitting my curses program. So, try this. Save a
copy of the termcap screen generates and change the 'le' setting to \E[D. Here
is how I did it:

 - start up screen
 - from screen window 0, printenv >/r0/termcap
 - from screen window 0, setenv TERMCAP /r0/termcap
 - create screen window 1
 - from screen window 1, edit /r0/termcap to change the 'le' setting and
   delete the other stuff from the printenv.

Let me know. Thanks.
