It is disgusting that "eval `test -s vt52`" works and
"eval `tset -s vt100`" fails.  Apparently, the file matching chars in the
vt100 termcap seq (e.g. '[') cause setenv to come back with a 
too many arguments message.  Why can't there be a way to jam the results
of an execution into a variable without further interpretation?
