If I understand rightly it's just a matter of following Alain's
recommendations .. create his screen-256color-bce and then infocmp it
back to a file. Problem I see is that I'm not sure Alain's entry will
function 100% when the underlying terminal is not xterm (urxvt ..
pterm/putty .. Konsole/gnome-terminal if they have 256 color versions ..
etc.)
I do agree that folks googling for answers ending up with this thread
will find it rather confusing.
