No.  As I remember not even SVR2.2 has the ability.  We are currently
running a Beta SVR3 version here and I added a routine to make the
information available to the user on a more general scale.

Sorry, you're out of luck.  I can think of a KLUDGE, but I don't have the
heart (or nerve) to repeat it.  It would be a great pain in the neck
and you would most certainly lower your opinion :-).

I would suggest that in the future you say which curses library you are
using (4.1BSD, 4.2BSD, SysV, ...).
