Termcap has is= and rs= as initialization and reset strings.
I've also seen i1=, i2=, i3=, and r1=, r2=, and r3= with
other initializations in them.

i2= is the initialization string for the status line
and is used by sysline(1) and some versions of tset(1).

What programs use the other five strings?
(please mail me and I'll post a summary)
