================
my next question seems really stupid; what should i expect to see output
from that command? tput tells me 105, but i've seen it do 256.
in xterm(tm) i see 80, but it only supports 16 colors.
fyi, i'm on freebsd which uses termcap, not terminfo. i ran 'tic -C' and
added your terminfo settings to my termcap, but that didn't seem to change
anything. i also used the rxvt.termcap that came with the package, and
still the same. i even tried changing the colors and pairs to reflect 256
and 32717, and still the same.

"A farmer's duty, is protecting the earth, maintaining
it's fertility, and maintaining the fertility of seed.
That is part of being a farmer. A farmer is not a
low-paid tractor driver, that's a modern definition of
what a farmer is. The real definition of a farmer is a
person who relates to the land and relates to the seed
and keeps it for future generations, keeps renewing
it, fertility."
