I need a terminfo file for the Wyse 50.  I have a termcap, but I
don't know how to convert it to terminfo.  (In fact, I don't know
the difference between them, other than that the UNIX people here
tell me I need a terminfo, not a termcap, and there's no Wyse 50
entry in the default files).

While I'm asking about the Wyse 50 ... is it possible to use a
printer with this terminal remotely connected to a mainframe?
That is, I use the terminal to modem into work;  can I have the
terminal send its output to a printer here at home rather than
displaying the output on the screen?  The manual hints at such
capabilities, but was pretty cryptic.
