Terminfo problem

[George Magklaras]

Is this by any chance a Kermit95 terminal emulator? If yes, see 
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/k95/newbugs.txt

for more info. If not, what sort of  TE is it? It seems to me that the 
emulator does not really have its TERM type set properly. Most of these 
oldies should have either a SET TERMINAL or equivalent set of 
commands/graphical menus through which you could really set the DG 
terminal type (200, 400?)

Alternatively, man/info stty?
