I'm posting this because there appears to be a common misperception
about termcap and Tektronix 401x style terminals.  Such terminals
are simply unusable for screen editors, etc. because they fit the
model of a hardcopy terminal much better than they do a regular
CRT terminal.  Very little software that uses termcap can work
properly on such terminals.  Also, the vast majority of UNIX
utilities do not use termcap at all.

The bottom line is, a Tektronix 401x termcap is of limited utility.
Anyway, here's what I have:
