$TERMCAP 

Syntax 

$TERMCAP <func id>[,<func id>][,<func id>]....

where:

<func id>             is the number of a terminal type to which the
                      following text is displayed.  (See Appendix A .)

Description 

The $TERMCAP directive is used to restrict the display of help text to
those users who are using specific terminals that support specific
functions (see also the $NOTTERMCAP directive).  You may need to do this
if the hardware restrictions of particular terminals prevent the use of
certain features or applications.  Details of these restrictions for each
Hewlett-Packard terminal can be found in the relevant Datasheet.  The
section of restricted text should be terminated by the $TERMCAP
directive.

Example 

Specify the capabilities of the terminal as follows:

     6 Forms           8 Graphics        10 VisiCalc
     7 MTS             9 HP Word         11 HP Slate

Any text enclosed by $TERMCAP directives is displayed only on the
terminals listed after the first directive.  For example:

     $IDNONHP 9427 "Using the Expense Report Form"
     .
     .
