Making your own TERMCAP entry

Here is what you need to know to create your own termcap entry.

To learn about the file format, read the 'termcap' manual page by using the
'man' command:

	man  5  termcap

To make a personal termcap entry use an editor to create the termcap
definition in a file with a name such as 'mytermcap'.

Set the TERMCAP environment variable to the name of the 'mytermcap' file with
its FULL PATH.  Use this command:

	setenv  TERMCAP  ~/mytermcap
