I pulled Lucid off the net recently (Lucid is a set of modifications
to emacs for X provided by a company that uses the editor as a basis
for other stuff [due to the nature of this list, I'll skip any
potentially commercial details]).  I've gotten it built and dumped,
but I get the error message:

emacs: Terminal type invisible is not defined.

I've hunted bear in the code and found that they set TERM=invisible
and TERMCAP=invisible:cm=:co#80:li#24: in the environment.  Then, they
use a call to tgetent with the second parameter set to "invisible".
This returns 0 which means a problem.

Any ideas of what I can do to get past this (I'm not a serious UNIX
hacker yet, but mostly an X/Motif kinda person:-)?

Thanks and have fun! - Bob
