Does anybody have a termcap or terminfo (for UNIX) for the
FreeTerm program? This free terminal is actually pretty nice as
it has a 56Kbaud option AND can do file transfers in the background
under multifinder. 
  The only problem is that I would like to be able to use it as my
terminal when I log into UNIX, but I'm unable to set up a termcap
entry for it. Has anybody done this?

  Alternatively, if anyone knows some of the escape sequences that
the terminal recognizes, I could probably create a termcap or terminfo
entry myself. (i.e. how do you make the screen "clear screen", "clear
to end of line", "position cursur at x,y" etc.)

  Perhaps the terminal emulation is ultra-dumb, but I do recall seeing
it clear the screen when I inadvertantly cat-ed out a binary file, so it
must be responding to some code for clear screen. Maybe it does other
stuff too?

Thanks.
