Ok, rather than remember all I ever forgot about termcap, 
can anyone tell me what it is in our termcap entry for xterm
that causes scrollbars not to work when you run screen(1) and similar
utils?  So I can remove it :-)

If I just grab $TERMCAP from a freebsd box, everything works fine - I
can scrollback without having to put screen into its Copy Mode.
A comparison of the two TERMCAP entries is below.
Each one is output of; echo $TERMCAP | tr ':' '\012' | sort -u
I tried removing ZZ and ti,te but makes no difference.

What really irks me is I know the answer - but it refuses to surface
:-)

Thanks
