The best thing that you can do to help would be to assist us in making
the product fully-functional under MacOS X (Since I have no Mac to try
it on...)

Work with us to put full support into the source distribution, including
a reasonable keyboard map, etc.

Actually, you may not need to change termcap/terminfo to make
xt5250 work :)

Try this:

   1) Edit /usr/local/bin/xt5250
   2) Go down to the bottom of the file.  One of the last lines
         contains the phrase "-tn xterm-5250".
   3) Change it to read "-tn xterm-color"
   4) Save the changes.

Now try running xt5250.   Does it work?

The only problem that I know of with this method is that "back-tab"
doesn't seem to work.  Other than that, the termcap entry is pointless...

(It's still important for console-mode, however)

Thanks!
