Jay,
 Of course, the TERMPORT relation would have to be optional, as my system is
on a network where people log in with about 6 different terminal types. Since
we don't all always log in from the same spot, most of our terminals end up
with two programmed keys: "setenv TERM xxxx" and "TERM=xxxx;export TERM" (for
Unix systems). It would be nice if terminal manufacturers would come up with a
standard (egads! there's that word again!) for querying terminals that they
could all agree with and stick to. I ain't holding MY breath!
