"ti" is appropriate: it is the "string to begin programs that use cm" (cm is direct cursor addressing) but "vs" is the "sequence to start open/visual mode" also from the man page: "The ma, vs, and ve entries are specific to the vi program." Thus, there is no way rogue should be using vs. Rogue's use of vs means there is no way I can use the same termcap for vi and rogue if I want the vs string to do a bunch of vi-specific stuff, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT IT'S INTENDED FOR. Can anyone justify rogue's use of vs, or is it agreed that it is wrong?
