+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> While <STRONG>tgoto</STRONG> is assumed to be used for the two-parame-
+ ter cursor positioning capability, termcap applica-
+ tions also use it for single-parameter capabilities.
+
+ Doing this shows a quirk in <STRONG>tgoto</STRONG>: most hardware ter-
+ minals use cursor addressing with <EM>row</EM> first, but the
+ original developers of the termcap interface chose to
+ put the <EM>column</EM> parameter first. The <STRONG>tgoto</STRONG> function
+ swaps the order of parameters. It does this also for
+ calls requiring only a single parameter. In that
+ case, the first parameter is merely a placeholder.
