< From the list of capabilities from Termcap(5) BSD4.2 (it is the same on
< Sun Version 2, also):
< 
<      ei     str         End insert mode; give ":ei=:" if ic
<      im     str         Insert mode (enter); give ":im=:" if ic
<     

Actually, in this case I've always considered the termcap manual page to be
plain wrong. Current usage of both termcap and terminfo, in curses, for
example, assumes that ei and im are only defined if they really have some
meaning. The same statement can be made for all string variables.
