And contrary to popular opinion vi does not really use curses,
rather it uses termcap (and now terminfo), the raw terminal
control codes. There is, so far as I can tell, no actual
curses specific code in vi. It does include curses but never
enters curses mode, it just uses the termcap/info control
definitions.
