           Up to 8 characters, chosen from [-a-z0-9], make up a basic
           terminal name.  Terminal sub-models and operational modes
           are distinguished by suffixes beginning with a ----.  Names
           should generally be based on original vendors, rather than
           local distributors.  A terminal acquired from one vendor
           should not have more than one distinct basic name.

           Commands whose behavior depends on the type of terminal
           should accept arguments of the form ----TTTT_t_e_r_m where _t_e_r_m is one
           of the names given above; if no such argument is present,
           such commands should obtain the terminal type from the
           environment variable $$$$TTTTEEEERRRRMMMM, which, in turn, should contain
           _t_e_r_m.

           This is a small candle trying to illuminate a large, dark
           problem.  Programs that ought to adhere to this nomenclature
           do so somewhat fitfully.
