[The Knights of Letni want..... A Segment Register!]

This termcap works fairly well.

t4|model4|Tandy TRS-80 Model 4/4P:\
	:am:co#80:li#24:\
	:cr=^]:bc=^X:ho=^\^P^Q:nl=^Z:\
	:cl=^\^_:cd=^_:ce=^^:\
	:up=^[:do=^Z:nd=^Y:\
	:so=^P:se=^Q:xt:

There is one other bit of translation that makes it work better
but I have misplaced my notes.  I think you use this command line:

	comm *cl (xlater=x'0d1d')

This translates any incoming carriage returns (which comm treats as
CR/LF) into a "return to start of line and start over".  Pay no attention
to the description in some of the Model 4 manuals that says it erases the line.
This is an excellent example of docu-fiction.

"A What?"
"Letni!  Letni!  Letni!"
"Please, no more!  We will find you a segment register."
"One that looks nice."
"Of course."
"And hold 16 bits but only uses 8."
"Yes... certainly."
