Help with Phantasia??? (actually about curses bug)

[The WITNESS]

I have been having problems running Phantasia.  It has a tendency to do weird
things with lines on my terminal (Superbee).

This is not really a bug in phantasia but actually one in either my terminal or
the curses library or both.  My termil has this thing about the order of a CR/
LF sequence; ^M^J works, but ^J^M causes the current line's memory to be re-
located to the beginning of the next line, locking out that line on the screen.
The result is less than readable.  I fixed this in vi by using the (rather
hairy) nl string in the "standard" superbee termcap, but -- and here is the
problem with curses -- curses does not look at the nl string.  I can't under-
stand why it wouldn't, but it doesn't, and we don't have source so I can't
fix it.

Anyway, I'd like help.  The help could be one of:

	(1) A superbee termcap (or perhaps instructions?) that would make
	    ^J work correctly
	(2) A fix for curses to read the nl string from the termcap, or
	    perhaps to substitute the do string
	(3) A version of phantasia that doesn't use curses (maybe it could
	    use vnews's virtterm.c?  vnews has no problems)

Can anyone out there help me?
