- and padding characters are supplied by <EM>tputs</EM> to provide
- this delay. The delay must be a number with at most one
- decimal place of precision; it may be followed by suffixes
- "*" or "/" or both. A "*" indicates that the padding
- required is proportional to the number of lines affected
- by the operation, and the amount given is the per-
- affected-unit padding required. (In the case of insert
- character, the factor is still the number of <EM>lines</EM>
- affected.) Normally, padding is advisory if the device
- has the <STRONG>xon</STRONG> capability; it is used for cost computation
- but does not trigger delays. A "/" suffix indicates that
- the padding is mandatory and forces a delay of the given
- number of milliseconds even on devices for which <STRONG>xon</STRONG> is
- present to indicate flow control.

- Sometimes individual capabilities must be commented out.
- To do this, put a period before the capability name. For
