The fsl string must leave the cursor in the same position as it was
before tsl. If necessary, this can be done by including sc and rc in
thefsl and tsl strings.
The wind string defines a window that all commands affect as part of
memory. It takes four arguments: starting lines in memory, ending lines
in memory, starting columns in memory, and ending columns in memory.
Capabilities Sorted by Variable Name
The following tables list all of the capabilities by variable name
(instead of TERMINFO capability name as was done previously) for ease of
reference.
Table 3-21 lists the Boolean capabilities, Table 3-22 lists the
numeric capabilities, and Table 3-23 lists the string capabilities.
