tvi950 info needed

I need some information on a (probably) televideo 950 terminal.  The terminal
has stickers on the keyboard and monitor that say 'Electra 950'.
There is a televideo sticker on the back, although no where does
it actually say 'Televideo 950'.  The only reference to '950' appears
on the 'Electra 950' sticker that surrounds all the keys on the keyboard.  
The word 'Electra' also appears on the sticker under the monitor.
The keyboard has 11 function keys plus 4 more: 'line insert', 'line delete',
'char insert' and 'char delete'.  Is there any way to use these editing keys?

Does anyone know what kind of 950 I have?  How could I determine
whether it's the one with several pages of memory, reverse video, Etc.
I've been using the standard tvi950 as TERM, but I've got lots of other
950 possibilities in my termcap.  About how much is this terminal worth?

Also, can the function keys on a tvi950 be programmed to send certain
escape sequences?  It's running on an AT&T UNIX PC off tty001 and I'd
like to program certain keys to send the unixpc key sequences such as
<ESC>EX - which is like pressing the <EXIT> key on the unix pc console.

AT&T UNIX PC 3B1 67/2.5 3.51 HDB tty000:2400/1200/300modem tty001:tvi950
