Jim Spath told me about this - I simply haven't tested it myself yet.
(but this is closer to what I had in mind - he gave me a patch that
added a separate set of #define's for it the acs_map).
But: does the original problem exist there? (Solaris curses was
sign-extending the values in acs_map when they happened to be >127).

I think that my existing tests should work properly (at least they do for me).
Thanks (I was intending to work on this tomorrow anyway).
