If \fBclearok\fR is called with \fBTRUE\fR as argument, the next

Initially, these translations do occur.
If you disable them
using \fBnonl\fR, \fBcurses\fR will be able to make better use of the line-feed

BSD curses did turn off these translations; AT&T curses (at least as late as
SVr1) did not.
We choose to do so, on the theory that a programmer requesting
