I think this came up a couple of months ago, but for some reason I thought
somebody had added in the code to handle it, about the time of the 1.2
release, when some new stuff was added to the termcap file for vt220 that
the console didn't support.

Good call.  Upon looking at /var/log/messages, I notice that grf0 is
initialized (whether it works or not is another question) on my PB145, so
I may just dl dt (the ole IIsi's several versions behind, and 1.1_ALPHA
still).
