   With the stty -extproc line in your .cshrc a number of

That activity is based on the termcap entry for the vt100 that NeXT
uses.  This is the now-standard BSD termcap entry - and it sucks,
in many ways.  We replaced /etc/termcap with the 1.0 termcap
file - it worked fine for every thing we do, and the new one didn't
work so well.  Why change a good thing?
