+       SVr4  (and  X/Open Curses) list several string capabilities for setting
+       margins.  Two were intended for use with  terminals,  and  another  six
+       were intended for use with printers.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The two terminal capabilities assume that the terminal may have the
+           capability of setting the left and/or right margin at  the  current
+           cursor column position.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The printer capabilities assume that the printer may have two types
+           of capability:
+
+           <STRONG>o</STRONG>   the ability to set a top and/or bottom margin using the current
+               line position, and
+
+           <STRONG>o</STRONG>   parameterized  capabilities  for setting the top, bottom, left,
+               right margins given the number of rows or columns.
+
+       In practice, the categorization into "terminal" and  "printer"  is  not
+       suitable:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The  AT&amp;T  SVr4  terminal  database  uses <STRONG>smgl</STRONG> four times, for AT&amp;T
+           hardware.
+
+           Three of the four are printers.   They  lack  the  ability  to  set
+           left/right margins by specifying the column.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Other  (non-AT&amp;T) terminals may support margins but using different
+           assumptions from AT&amp;T.
+
+           For instance, the DEC VT420 supports left/right margins,  but  only
+           using a column parameter.  As an added complication, the VT420 uses
+           two settings to fully enable left/right margins (left/right  margin
+           mode,  and  origin  mode).   The  former enables the margins, which
+           causes printed text to wrap  within  margins,  but  the  latter  is
+           needed to prevent cursor-addressing outside those margins.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Both  DEC  VT420  left/right  margins are set with a single control
+           sequence.  If either is omitted, the corresponding margin is set to
+           the  left  or  right  edge  of the display (rather than leaving the
+           margin unmodified).
+
+       These are the margin-related capabilities:
+
+                    <STRONG>Name</STRONG>       <STRONG>Description</STRONG>
+                    ----------------------------------------------

+                    smgr       Set right margin at current column
+                    smgb       Set bottom margin at current line
+                    smgt       Set top margin at current line

+                    smgtp      Set top margin at line <EM>N</EM>
+
+       When writing an application that uses these  string  capabilities,  the
+       pairs  should be first checked to see if each capability in the pair is
+       set or only one is set:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If both <STRONG>smglp</STRONG> and <STRONG>smgrp</STRONG>  are  set,  each  is  used  with  a  single
+           argument,  <EM>N</EM>,  that  gives  the column number of the left and right
+           margin, respectively.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If both <STRONG>smgtp</STRONG> and <STRONG>smgbp</STRONG> are set, each is used to set  the  top  and
+           bottom margin, respectively:
+
+           <STRONG>o</STRONG>   <STRONG>smgtp</STRONG> is used with a single argument, <EM>N</EM>, the line number of the
+               top margin.
+
+           <STRONG>o</STRONG>   <STRONG>smgbp</STRONG> is used with two arguments, <EM>N</EM> and <EM>M</EM>, that give  the  line
+               number of the bottom margin, the first counting from the top of
+               the page  and  the  second  counting  from  the  bottom.   This
+               accommodates  the two styles of specifying the bottom margin in
+               different manufacturers' printers.
+
+           When designing a terminfo entry for a printer that has  a  settable
+           bottom  margin,  only  the first or second argument should be used,
+           depending on the printer.  When developing an application that uses
+           <STRONG>smgbp</STRONG> to set the bottom margin, both arguments must be given.
+
+       Conversely, when only one capability in the pair is set:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If  only  one  of  <STRONG>smglp</STRONG> and <STRONG>smgrp</STRONG> is set, then it is used with two
+           arguments, the column number of the left and right margins, in that
+           order.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Likewise,  if  only  one of <STRONG>smgtp</STRONG> and <STRONG>smgbp</STRONG> is set, then it is used
+           with two arguments that give the top and bottom  margins,  in  that
+           order, counting from the top of the page.
+
+           When designing a terminfo entry for a printer that requires setting
+           both left and right or top and bottom margins simultaneously,  only
+           one  capability  in  the  pairs  <STRONG>smglp</STRONG> and <STRONG>smgrp</STRONG> or <STRONG>smgtp</STRONG> and <STRONG>smgbp</STRONG>
+           should be defined, leaving the other unset.
+
+       When setting margins, the line- and column-values are zero-based.
+
+       The <STRONG>mgc</STRONG> string capability should  be  defined.   Applications  such  as

        There are two basic kinds of  intelligent  terminals  with  respect  to
        insert/delete  character  which  can  be described using <EM>terminfo.</EM>  The
-       most common insert/delete character operations affect only the  charac-
-       ters  on  the current line and shift characters off the end of the line
-       rigidly.  Other terminals, such as the Concept 100 and the Perkin Elmer
-       Owl, make a distinction between typed and untyped blanks on the screen,
-       shifting upon an insert or delete only  to  an  untyped  blank  on  the
-       screen which is either eliminated, or expanded to two untyped blanks.
-
-       You  can determine the kind of terminal you have by clearing the screen
-       and then typing text separated by cursor  motions.   Type  "abc    def"
-       using  local  cursor  motions  (not  spaces)  between the "abc" and the
-       "def".  Then position the cursor before the "abc" and put the  terminal
-       in  insert  mode.   If typing characters causes the rest of the line to
-       shift rigidly and characters to fall off the end,  then  your  terminal
-       does  not  distinguish  between  blanks  and untyped positions.  If the
-       "abc" shifts over to the "def" which then move together around the  end
-       of  the current line and onto the next as you insert, you have the sec-
-       ond type of terminal, and should give the capability <STRONG>in</STRONG>,  which  stands
-       for "insert null".
-
-       While  these  are  two  logically  separate attributes (one line versus
-       multi-line insert mode, and special treatment  of  untyped  spaces)  we
