- No, "stty" merely affects future behavior of the tty handler portion
- of the operating system; it does not transmit anything to the terminal.

- While some of the LSI ADM family of terminals can be configured to have
- code 32 (space) act as a non-destructive cursor-right action, it is
- really not a good idea, as many programs expect the usual space
- character to act destructively. Code 12 (ctrl-L) does act as a cursor-
- right command regardless of switch settings, and thus this capability
- is available even when the normal, destructive space is configured.

- I've seen quite a few incorrect ADM termcaps; here is the set I use.

- #
- # LSI ADM-3A, ADM-3A+, ADM-5
- # The following ADM-3A switch settings are assumed for normal operation:
- # SPACE U/L_DISP CLR_SCRN 24_LINE
- # CUR_CTL LC_EN AUTO_NL FDX
- # Other switches may be set for operator convenience or communication
- # requirements. I recommend
- # DISABLE_KB_LOCK LOCAL_OFF 103 202_OFF
- # ETX_OFF EOT_OFF
