I've been testing a lot more with various term settings and ansi
works fine except that the console isn't restored after :quitting.

It looks like my vim isn't using the altscreen with ansi. Is there a
way of getting both to work together?

I've tried setting t_ti and t_te to the codes that they show when
altscreen is used, but it made no difference.
