Hello, networld.....

	i am presently playing with terminfo and all it's "features",
and i came across a feature that i want to employ in my programming.

this is, using the underscore aspect of "tput", which is called by"

	"tput smul" and turned off by "rmul".

My question: i beleive that there is a way to keep that intact
	     whan i turn it off by inserting some sort of control
	     char(s) in the file. Is this true?
	     The man page is not that helpful in explaning this.
	     I am using unix release 5.2.6b.
If you are familiar with terminfo i would be gratefull to hear from you.
				Thank-you,
				   and...
					Cheers.
