I read somewhere that it was possible to set the TERM variable to point
at a file containing terminal definitions in the user's directory.

I am unable to find that passage now. 

I am trying to work out a usable terminal definition for my terminal 
before I install it in the termcap file. 

Does someone know how I can do this?

Thanx in advance,
