I usually have $TERM set to "xterm-new", which lets screen find the alias
"screen.xterm-new" (which is in ncurses, taking advantage of screen's
search rules as described in its manpage). If you do
infocmp screen xterm
you'll see the difference. By itself, screen's terminfo entry describes a
more/less generic colorized xterm (and is correct as far as that goes).
