[Tipz] better terminal behavior on solaris

[Marc Dougherty]

Since this came up earlier with the screen upgrade, i figured i'd
mention this little trick for getting better-behaved terminal colors on
CCIS solaris boxes.

As it turns out, terminfo lets you tell it where to find its terminal
definitions with the environment variable TERMINFO. This means you can
copy up your own definition for, say, xterm, set TERMINFO, and off you
go!

Fortunately for those of you interested, i've already done the hardest
part! There's a copy of "good" xterm definitions (that i've been using
for the last few years, with no trouble) in
/home/muncus/.terminfo/ that you can copy to your own directory.

enjoy!

PS - just dont blame me if your irc colors freak out :P
