Sure; however, my experience is that most terminal emulators support at

precisely the reason why I don't want to go ahead and say TERM=xterm
everywhere. However, if I log in to a host where rxvt-unicode isn't in
termcap (or whatever), it'd be great if ncurses could just walk some
environment variable until it finds a name that it does, in fact, know.
Stuff like this (in your .login) is already portable, works on every
unix platform.
#!/bin/sh
for name in foo bar xterm
do
if ( tput -T$name am 2>/dev/null )
then
echo ok $name
fi
done
