Chuck,
I was meaning to write this up earlier, but work keeps getting in the way.
When I used your new termcap entry, "less" (when it's displaying output piped to it
via its standard input but not when it is given a file name argument) tells me
"WARNING: terminal is not fully functional".
Here's an excerpt, with context, from my "/etc/termcap":

The "lcygwin" is just to prevent a conflict without having to remove the old entry.
Now if I switch back (rename "cygwin" in the above to "wcygwin" and "lcygwin" to
"cygwin"), less works as usual for both standard input and file name arguments.
