It seems that pccons was an obsoleted version of syscons(4), the default
console driver for FreeBSD (pccons seems to have been in other BSD's,
too).  Thus, I believe the plural 'sequences' would be correct, and I've
just committed a fix to the screen.4 manpage.  It will be merged to
-STABLE in a week.

Thanks for spotting this!

G'luck,
Peter
