Add to /etc/termcap:
	p9|9term|p9win: :am:bl=^G:do=^J:nl=^J:
Or just use "dumb".

/bin/hp

Speaking of that, I spent some time arranging to have the keyboard
driver deliver distinct characters for the four arrow keys (using the
same values that 9term does under unix), and arranging for hp to emit
the right function key sequences for them.  But here the Guys From New
Jersey have defeated us, since the 2621's arrow keys send a carrage
return at the end, which confuses vi and emacs (although nvi works
ok), so I never posted the patches.  (sigh.)
