1)  Termcap entry for 520ST emulating a vt52:
    The following termcap entry works fine with our 4.2bsd system on
    a VAX 11/780. (I have a B&W high res monitor and this termcap
    has been used at 1200 baud only.)

	:up=\EA:do=\EB:nd=\EC:sr=\EI:\
	:al=\EL:dl=\EM:so=\Ep:se=\Eq:\
	:cm=\EY%+ %+ :

    it solves many of the mysterious problems experienced while
    using the "standard" vt52 termcap (incorrectly positioned cursor etc.)
2)  ST BASIC: READING MOUSE POSITION
    The example given for the command GEMSYS (on page C-57) in the
    BASIC manual does just this.
3)  ST BASIC: WAVE COMMAND
    The ENABLE parameter has its bits turned ON by 1's and OFF by 0's.
    The manual says exactly the opposite.
