Ed,
You look in the manual for the terminal in question. I have done this only
once. Your best bet is to steal a termcap entry from a Unix machine for the
terminal you want. Termcap entries that work will have the padding info in them
already and Microware's termcap library handles them automatically.
I can visibly perceive the faster screen fill using uMacs on two of the
terminals at work (AT&T 5410 and 5425). If you don't do padding, the terminals
want to do flow control, which is not good if your editor uses ^Q and ^S!!
Mark
