Does anyone have usable termcap and terminfo entries for this beast
that work well with emacs?  After trying every reasonable combination
of emulation and termcamp entry (from SunOS 4.1), I finally modified a
wyse50 entry to disable stand out and underlining.

The biggest problem was that highlighting caused a brief flash of
whole buffers on redraw and sometimes didn't get turned off properly.
(It also flashes the entire line everytime it prints out the prompt in
more).  On the System V (IRIX 3.3) terminfo side, highlighting is OK,
but it often ends up disagreeing with emacs as to where the text is on
the screen.

Ack.  How can a brand new terminal be sooo goood?  Pointers
appreciated.
