I am not an expert on Uniplex but I did attend a one week class on 
configuring Uniplex, terminals, and printers. I have created several new
entries in the Pcap and Tcap for printers and terminals that are not 
currently supported by Uniplex.

The procedure is pretty involved to explain here but basically you modify 
the Tcap and/or Pcap file and then recompile the Tcap file using the syscomp
command.

To start with you should have the Uniplex configuration guide, and the manuals
for the terminal or printer you want to configure. 

To create a new printer configuration just edit the Pcap file, find a printer 
that is similar to the one you are configuring, copy that section and give 
it a fictitious namei (PNAME). Consult your printer manual to determine what 
control or escape sequence constitutes underline, bold, and various other 
attributes, make those changes in the Pcap file and it should work.

The procedure is about the same for terminals. Make sure you make copies of
the files before you modify them (in case you honk them up :-)   ).
