Charles,

I must be missing something.

Since there were no attachments, I placed the text embedded in the 
message into a file named "cygwin.terminfo" and used "tic" as you 
prescribed. I get a diagnostic "Name collision between cygwin cygwin". 
I tried removing the existing terminfo entry, but the result is unchanged.

Then I saw this, so I figured that there are two text attachments that 
got merged into a blob of in-line text, so I took the last 20 lines 
beginning with "cygwin|ansi emulation for Cygwin:\" and gave them to 
tic, and it seems to work (tic likes it and the results reinstate 
screen context save and restore).

Could you clarify what's up here? Am I the only one who didn't see attachments?
