This topic comes up about every 3 months.  ncurses can be compiled to have
embedded terminal descriptions.  That's one choice.  Another is to have a
small termcap file.  That's another choice.  Of course another choice is
to change the editor (though stating that it has support for cons25 and
xterm sounds suspicious, since they do differ).
