>Description:
	tput reversing the order of row/col args to tput cm makes it
	more compatable with SunOS,HP-UX,Solaris etc.
>How-To-Repeat:
	I have  a shell based menu system that runs on
	SunOS,Solaris,HP-UX and many other UNIX systems, NetBSD's tput
	has its row/col args for cursor positioning transposed as
	compared to the other systems.
	A simple fix (below) to tput makes more compatable with other *NIX.
>Fix:
	Apply the following patch.
