The best thing that you can do to help would be to assist us in making
the product fully-functional under MacOS X (Since I have no Mac to try
it on...)
Work with us to put full support into the source distribution, including
a reasonable keyboard map, etc.

Actually, you may not need to change termcap/terminfo to make
xt5250 work :)
Try this:
1) Edit /usr/local/bin/xt5250
2) Go down to the bottom of the file. One of the last lines
contains the phrase "-tn xterm-5250".
3) Change it to read "-tn xterm-color"
4) Save the changes.
Now try running xt5250. Does it work?
The only problem that I know of with this method is that "back-tab"
doesn't seem to work. Other than that, the termcap entry is pointless...
(It's still important for console-mode, however)
Thanks!
