Hi,
  I wonder what is the best way of displaying alternate character set in an
xterm, so that one gets line drawing characters and other effects . Termcap ?
If so, has anyone got some generic example to post to the group, please ?
Any other alternative ? The FreeBSD curses can't do it either, can it ? How
about the new curses in 1.1B ?

  Thanks in advance.
