Get termcap string entry

tgetstr is one  of a set of functions that  help COHERENT to per-
form terminal-independent operations.   It reads the string value
of  feature name  from  the terminal's  tteerrmmccaapp description,  and
writes it into the buffer  at address area.  It also advances the
value of the pointer to area.

tgetstr  decodes the  abbreviations for  the  fields used  in the
termcap entry,  except for padding and  for cursor-addressing in-
formation.
