  OK, since you expect it, I'll do it.  RTFM.

  Have you looked at the man page termcap(5)?  It very clearly describes
what the entries in /etc/termcap mean, how to format them, and which
ones are the most important in any termcap entry.  Any attempt by
someone on the net to answer your question would probably just be an
attempt to summarize in less space what is already contained in the man page.

  If you don't have the man page at your site, let me know in E-mail and
I'll mail you a copy.  But you should.
