System V terminfo initialization

[kelvin at bocklin.UUCP]

earlier today i posted this to net.unix but just realized that
we don't even subscribe to it.  please excuse me if this is question
is beneath the dignity of this group.

i am new to System V unix.  I have been able to decipher most of the 
terminfo documentation, but can't find any (correct) information on 
how to initialize a terminal according to the terminfo description.

Berkeley 4.2 provides the tset command which will read the termcap data
base and transmit initialization strings and files to the terminal.

The terminfo man page that we have makes reference to this tset command
but it appears that this is only because the editors did not do a very
thorough job in converting the documents from what Berkeley had written.
Tset is not found anywhere else amongst the System V unix stuff that we
have here.

So what command can i invoke in my profile to properly initialize my
terminal?

Thanks in advance for your help,
