System name:		fountain
Type and version:	RT 6.4R
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
Run the 2020 tutorial on fountain.mit.edu.

What's wrong:
1) The terminal file (/usr/2020/lib/tfil) doesn't seem to have a
terminal/keyboard listing for the RT keyboard, and 2) has the tutorial files
hardcoded to look for files under /usr/2020/tutor/.

What should have happened:
The tutorial should have run, at least when the PF2 and PF3 keys (as mentioned
in the help sections), which generate ESC O Q and ESC O R, were `emulated' by
entering the keys by hand.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The 2020 on-line help file should be updated to include information on running
2020 on an RT.


Fix:  Edit the tfil/help files and tutorial files to add information about
the RT keyboard, and specify the correct directory to look in for tutorial
files, respectively.  This was what was immediately obvious - there may be more
things that need changes.
