Here's the termcap.

I returned the Wyse-99 though, virtually useless documentation, broken
keyboard mapping in tek4010 mode (try sending <esc> or <delete>), and
most importantly the graphics screen wasn't visible unless one went to
tek4010 mode, which disabled the ascii screen and forced one to edit
on an overstiking terminal. The terminal also had severe problems with
parity bits. Tek mode produced 'spider-webs' instead of real graphs
when presented with a parity bit that wasn't zero. (I had to rewrite a
local plotting package, so I could output data to the terminal without
ouputting even parity.) Yuk!

This last termcap line makes GnuEmacs *real* happy. (Too bad that terminal 
limitations prevented me from plotting under GnuEmacs!)
