+# ------------------------
+#
+# This file describes capabilities of various terminals, as needed by
+# software such as screen editors.  It does not attempt to describe
+# printing terminals very well, nor graphics terminals.  Someday.
+# See terminfo(5) in the Unix Programmers Manual for documentation.
+#
+# Conventions: First entry is two chars, first char is manufacturer,
+# second char is canonical name for model or mode.
+# Third entry is the one the editor will print with "set" command.
+# Last entry is verbose description.
+# Others are mnemonic synonyms for the terminal.
+#
+# Terminal naming conventions:
+# Terminal names look like <manufacturer> <model> - <modes/options>
+# Certain abbreviations (e.g. c100 for concept100) are also allowed
+# for upward compatibility.  The part to the left of the dash, if a
+# dash is present, describes the particular hardware of the terminal.
+# The part to the right can be used for flags indicating special ROM's,
+# extra memory, particular terminal modes, or user preferences.
+# All names are always in lower case, for consistency in typing.
+# Because of file naming restrictions, terminal names should not contain
+# period or slash, in fact, entirely alphanumeric characters plus dash are
+# highly recommended.  These restrictions do not apply to the verbose name.
+#
+# The following are conventionally used flags:
+#	rv	Terminal in reverse video mode (black on white)
+#	2p	Has two pages of memory.  Likewise 4p, 8p, etc.
+#	w	Wide - in 132 column mode.
+#	pp	Has a printer port which is used.
+#	na	No arrow keys - terminfo ignores arrow keys which are
+#		actually there on the terminal, so the user can use
+#		the arrow keys locally.
+#	#	The number of lines on the screen.
+#	s	With a status line.
+#  
+# There are some cases where the same name is used for two different
+# terminals, e.g. "teleray" or "2621" or "vt100".  In these cases,
+# if a site has one of these, they should choose a local default and
+# bring that terminal to the front in the reorder script.  This works
+# because setupterm() picks the first match in /usr/share/lib/terminfo/*/*.
+#
+# If you absolutely MUST check for a specific terminal (this is discouraged)
+# check for the 1st entry (the canonical form) since all other codes are
+# subject to change.  We would much rather put in special capabilities to
+# describe your terminal rather than having you key on the name.
