"... but I *do* have ANSI X3.64-1979 handy, and in its
description of LINE FEED NEW LINE MODE (for all the UNIX
hackers in the audience, you can think of it as "am" :-)) ..."
No, "am" (automargin) means the terminal will pretend it saw
carriage-return line-feed when it moves past the rightmost column. A
better comparison is "stty -nl" in BSD or "stty onlcr" in sysV.
