• \A = Select Alternate Character Set (if supported by term)
• \B = Bold Character (if terminal supports Bold)
• \D = Dim Character (if terminal supports Dim)
• \I = Inverse Character (if terminal supports Inverse)
• \S = Standout Character (Curses determines bold or inverse)
• \\ = The “\” character
• \: = The “:” character when “:” is last in the line
NOTE All Keywords after “\:” are ignored, therefore if “\:” is necessary in an
entry, then they must be the last characters in the line.
The maximum line length is 500 characters.
All lines beginning with “#” are considered comments.
Lines must not be broken; however, multiple entries are supported.
Examples
The following are hp2392 terminals with thin-line drawing character set.
The first entry is an example of how multiple entries can be used to
shorten the line length.
