[vox-tech] MacOS X, terminals, and ncurses apps

[Matt Holland]

Perhaps take a look at http://macvim.swdev.org/OSX/ and search for 
"termcap".  I remember installing a new termcap from somewhere when I 
was running 10.1, but I don't remember why, or where I found it.  
Googling "OS X termcap" might uncover something.  I don't use vim, so 
that's all I've got to contribute...
