... and she wants to connect to various computers.  The Kaypro screen uses
a superset of the adm3a terminal commands.  In other words, Mex, Kermit and
other modem programs will (should) work fine if you tell your host that you
have an adm3a.  Unfortunately, that is a rather slow and limited set of
commands.  The following termcap and terminfo entries have worked well for
me over the last few years.  They make use of the Kaypro's extra features,
such as insert line, delete line, clear-to-eol, etc.

To use the termcap entry, save it to a file such as /home/me/kaypro.tc.  Now
tell everyone about it by typing
	setenv TERM kaypro; setenv TERMCAP /home/me/kaypro.tc
if you use C-shell.  In Bourne or Korn shell, type
	TERM=kaypro ; TERMCAP=/home/me/kaypro.tc ; export TERM TERMCAP

To use the terminfo entry, save it to a file such as kaypro.ti.  Now, set
your terminfo database to your own directory by typing either
	setenv TERMINFO /home/me
or
	TERMINFO=/home/me ; export TERMINFO
and then compiling the terminfo file with the command "tic /home/me/kaypro.ti".

No, I don't guarantee perfect results, but it usually works for me.
