- and is not restored by <STRONG>set_term</STRONG>, so the value should be
- saved between calls to <STRONG>newterm</STRONG> if <STRONG>longname</STRONG> is going to be

- If a given terminal does not support a video attribute
- that an application program is trying to use, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> may
- substitute a different video attribute for it. The <STRONG>ter-</STRONG>

- video attributes supported by the terminal using <EM>A</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> and
- <EM>WA</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> constants respectively. This information is useful
- when a <STRONG>curses</STRONG> program needs complete control over the
- appearance of the screen.
