I think the reason I did this was because the screen terminfo didn't
work properly on my WY-185 terminal, and I was too lazy to keep
setting TERM whenever I detached my screen and came back to/from the
Wyse.  I'm using these lines in my .screenrc to fake some of it. 

# Try to get color with vt100 terminals.
termcap  * 'AF=\E[3%dm:AB=\E[4%dm'
terminfo * 'AF=\E[3%p1%dm:AB=\E[4%p1%dm'

I realize this is SO not a vt100, but it works and I really don't
understand termcap/terminfo beyond an extremely basic level.
