>Description:
Window does a reasonable, but not complete, job of communicating the
terminal type to its child shells.  It sets TERMCAP, but it doesn't
set TERM.  I don't know what the "correct" behavior for a curses-style
program is, but emacs for one checks TERM before TERMCAP.  So when I
go into window, TERM is still set to vt100, even though vt100 codes
won't do things for window.  The result is that programs can't
communicate properly with window.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
% window
win1% printenv TERM
vt100
win1%
	
>Fix:
I just fixed my .windowrc like this, but it seems to be something that
should be system-wide:

write(1, "set term=window-v2\n");
write(2, "set term=window-v2\n");
