Bill - our book says this program
will "take the code [termcap]
apart, and display it in readable
form."  Looks like it asks 
for the name of the termcap file
and a terminal type and then 
outputs a list with entries like:

.
.
G1  ^A\277   Graphics - Upper-right
G2  ^A\332   Graphics - Upper-left
.
.
PC  \E[X     filePro - redraw
screen
. 
.
etc.

So the shell program is accompanied
by a library file 
that has the descriptions for the
different kinds of
possible entries.

I notice it has a sizeable sed
command in the middle - 
I'd have to have a Sudafed to
understand it more.  
I sent Doug the program and lib
files.
