You will want to find out if HOD was/is used when they run this
against HP-UX system(s).

It has been a while since I worked on this kind of thing.  I was
dismayed to find that most of the termcap/curses support is for
*output*.  For input, more of the heavy lifting gets dumped on the
apps themselves.  That aspect (how much of the input side does the
library handle automagically) may vary between HP-UX and Linux.
