be used to determine if it would be appropriate to turn on physical
-scrolling using \fBscrollok\fR.

-The \fBkillchar\fR routine returns the user's current line kill character.

-The \fBlongname\fR routine returns a pointer to a static area

-length of a verbose description is 128 characters. It is defined only
