I know this may be a dumb question ... however
Is there an  Apollo termcap available for other systems.
Here is why I'm asking ....
When I rlogin from my apollo to another system (Convex for example)
I would like to have the same enviornment as the Apollo.  One reason
is to get a full screen advantage for emacs.  Of course , you can
use the vt100 emulator, but you are limited to ~80x24 and cannot 
realize the full benefit of emacs or whatever you're running.
We tried taking the "Apollo" section from  /etc/termcap on the 
Apollo and appending it to the Convex termcap and then setenv TERM
Apollo.  This did "change" things but still didn't do what we thought
it should.  

I'm sure we are missing something very simple here but  ...
Any comments / suggestions  etc  

Thanks in advance
