     If I recall correctly, UNIX System V uses the terminfo database.  The
command "tput" should do what you want.  Try the manual pages for "tput"
(i.e., "man tput").  In short, after you've compiled the entries, type the
following:

     % tput init	 # To send the initializations for $TERM.
     % tput longname	 # To display the "long name" of the terminal.
