From the 4.3BSD termcap manual entry:

	In order to scroll text up, a program goes to the bottom left
	corner of the screen and sends the "sf" (index) string.  To
	scroll text down, a program goes to the top left corner of the
	screen and sends the "sr" (reverse index) string.  The strings
	"sf" and "sr" have undefined behavior when not on their
	respective corners of the screen.
