        !            41: which allow the user to:

        !            46: .el .ip 2)
        !            47: get input from the terminal
        !            48: in a screen-oriented fashion,
        !            49: and
        !            50: .ie t .ip \ \ \ \(bu
        !            51: .el .ip 3)
        !            52: independent from the above, move the cursor optimally
        !            53: from one point to another.
        !            54: .pp
        !            55: These routines all use the
        !            56: \*(tc \*(db to describe the capabilities of the terminal.

        !            60: This package would not exist
        !            61: without the work of Bill Joy,
        !            62: who,
        !            63: in writing his editor,
        !            64: created the capability to generally describe terminals,
        !            65: wrote the routines which read this \*(db,
        !            66: and, most importantly,
        !            67: those which implement optimal cursor movement,
        !            68: which routines I have simply lifted nearly intact.
        !            69: Doug Merritt and Kurt Shoens also were extremely important,
        !            70: as were both willing to waste time listening to me rant and rave.
        !            71: The help and/or support of
        !            72: Ken Abrams,
