        !             8: supports special functions of, and optimizes the use of, the

        !            11: terminal,
        !            12: or any terminal that is functionally identical,
        !            13: such as the
        !            14: .SM DIABLO

        !            17: 1700.
        !            18: It converts half-line forward, half-line reverse, and full-line reverse

        !            41: .SM SPACING
        !            42: switch should be put in the desired position (either 10- or 12-pitch).
        !            43: In either case, vertical spacing is 6 lines/inch,
        !            44: unless dynamically changed to 8 lines per inch by an appropriate escape sequence.

        !            76: can thus often be avoided unless

        !           102: Some special characters cannot be correctly printed in column 1
        !           103: because the print head cannot be moved to the left from there.
        !           104: .br
        !           105: If your output contains Greek and/or reverse line-feeds,
        !           106: use a friction-feed platen instead of a forms tractor;
        !           107: although good enough for drafts,
        !           108: the latter has a tendency to slip when reversing direction,
        !           109: distorting Greek characters and misaligning the first line of text after one or more
        !           110: reverse line-feeds.
