You have a good point.  My termcap was done so that we could run a
number of applications...

Grepping seems unsatisfying to find out which keys are used.  Do you

It might even make sense to dynamically generate termcap.tiny at build time by pulling out the entries in /etc/termcap for a selected list of terminal types. Then, no extra maintenance would be needed.
