[PATCH 13/19] README: Correct location of ncurses intro document.


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 13/19] README: Correct location of ncurses intro document.
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2023 11:45:48 -0500

Fortunately, it's been wrong only since 5_0_20000311.

Also wrap some long lines; except for the Ada-style comment header, the
file _seems_ to mostly use a fill column of 78, so use that.  Add vile
modeline to assist with this.
