The 4.3BSD termcap(5) man page notes that a couple of dozen termcap strings
can take numeric arguments, such as the ones that insert or delete multiple
lines or characters. How are these parameters passed? I know that with
the cm capability you call tgoto with the x and y coordinates, but how is
it done for capabilities that only take one numeric parameter?
