Hi folks, Is this a bug? I find that "tput init" appends a carriage return to its output, and I don't think it should. Recall that "init" is a meta-capability that outputs is1, is2, is3, if, and iprog, sets output delays, and deals with tab expansion. It does this part just fine, it's just that this CR seems to follow even if none of the capabilities are found. None of the other capabilities (except the other meta-cap "reset") have this problem. I suppose that in most cases a CR is not such a bad thing for fixing up a terminal or something, but when going to a printer it might not be so helpful. At least it should be documented.
