The problem with the 4025 is not in the termcap, but is a drawback
of the terminal itself.  The terminal ORs the input command sequences
coming from the computer with anything typed on the keyboard.  Therefore
as you are bouncing through the dungeons of rogue, your motion commands
are becoming part of the cursor address commands comming from the
computer (usually falling within the numeric fields, aborting the command).
I don't think there is anyway to get around this.  We had thought of hacking
up a little program to play with the file descriptors to allow us to use
the keyboard from one 4025 and the display of another (there were several
adjacent to each other) but gave up.
