What does the included termcap for xterm-xfree86 look like?

Just to refresh my memory, I'm looking at the code, and see
that titeInhibit applies to each of the controls that would switch
between normal/alternate screens.  But the older (47) code would
clear the screen, unlike the "newer" (1049) code.

odd - even if you were using an application that uses the terminfo
entry rather than the modified termcap, that should prevent the
screen-switching.

That's titeInhibit

What does "xterm -v" say?

(I'm not aware that anyone has patched xterm
to disable the feature; I revised it more than ten years ago,
though it's been ignored by all of the "xterm emulators"...).
