KEYMAP is supported and works fine under DOS (and I believe Cygwin).

The problem is that the functions SHIFT_LEFT, SHIFT_RIGHT, and
LINEWRAP_TOGGLE aren't supported under DOS or MINGW, but should be
under Cygwin. They are built in only if USE_CURSES_PADS is defined.
This is not defined when PDCurses is used (see LYCurses.h). If you
define USE_CURSES_PADS anyway under PDCurses, the left and right shift
functions work, but the linewrap toggle doesn't, so I am not sure that
it is of much use.
I don't know how to make the functions useful if you really need to
run under DOS 6.22. If you can run under Windows, I would try a Cygwin
binary, which should work. I haven't built a Cygwin binary myself in
some time, but checking an old 2.8.5pre.3 which I built with ncurses
5.3, it behaves as does the current DJGPP version when USE_CURSES_PADS
is defined (i.e. shifting works, but not linewrapping). Does the
linewrapping function really work under some build conditions?
