Going over the book "Termcap and Terminfo" has been a lot of fun, and pretty
informative. I highly suggest that anyone writing termcap applications gets a
copy of this (O'Riley and Assc., 632 Petaluma Ave, Sebastopol, CA 95472).

It mentions that there is a 'wi' termcap entry which defines a window. The
params for 'wi' are the window xstart,ystart,xsize and ysize. However, it does
not mention how to start the window. Any of you UNIX types have any more info
on this? The reason I ask is that if windowing is already defined by termcap
then it'll make writing portable applications much easier. And the applications
can then take advantage of 'hardware' windowing on units like the mm/1.
