Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
Read man pages, for example, while rlogged in and terminal is
a Qume qvt101
What's wrong:
When e.g. man prints a word that should be underlined or
italic or boldface or something like that, it prints the
word in reverse video; then the rest of that print line
is blank. Which makes it very hard to read the man page.
What should have happened:
Shouldn't lose information that way. Following is a termcap we
use at UCSC which underlines words, and doesn't lose the rest
of the line.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Well I've never understood how to write termcaps in spite of
termcap(5) but maybe somebody who does understand can figure
out why this one works and the one in /etc/termcap loses.
