I've received a question about termcap naming conventions;
I'm trusting that network readers can mail me correct information.
The question I received:

> I've been using the convention that "-st" at the end of a termcap
> entry name means that it steals a line for a status line.  Now I find
> a group of people using the convention of "-s". . .
> I was wondering if you have any feel for which is the more common usage.
