radius and derivitives have a bug dealing with U,Txy flags... specifically
that they should not be UFlags in this day in time...

that is one possible solution... one would need to look at traditional
binkleyterm utilities to see what they did for things like this... SOB and
SOSOB are two utils that may provide an answer... too bad that so many
binkleyterm related tools are simply no longer available and/or are
otherwise forgotten in the mists of time :(
