Termcap has is= and rs= as initialization and reset strings. I've also seen i1=, i2=, i3=, and r1=, r2=, and r3= with other initializations in them. i2= is the initialization string for the status line and is used by sysline(1) and some versions of tset(1). What programs use the other five strings? (please mail me and I'll post a summary)
