rather than exiting. It is safe but redundant to check
the return value of initscr in XSI Curses.
+ If the TERM variable is missing or empty, initscr uses the
+ value "unknown", which normally corresponds to a terminal

+ screen operation. Other implementations may handle a
+ missing/empty TERM variable differently.
