I believe rogue is incorrect when it puts out the "vs" termcap entry upon
startup as well as putting out "ti".

"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?
