     This is how I do it (environment: 4.3 BSD),

setenv "TERMCAP" "/people1/earleh/.termcap"

     Then put the experimental termcap entries in the file (/people1/earleh 
is me) and Gnu Emacs or any other program will get the descriptions from
your private termcap file, rather than from /etc/termcap.
