backslashes in /etc/termcap


The entries in /etc/termcap contain tons of backslashes which are mis-
interpreted by scheme. Is there any possibility at all. In this way writing
tgetent,tgetstr and tputs (from libtermcap) in Guile doesn't have a snowball's
chance in hell to work. Is there a way to get around the backslash-dilemma
for handling the termcaps?
