Padding
=======
"Padding" means outputting null characters following a terminal
display command that takes a long time to execute. The terminal
description says which commands require padding and how much; the
function `tputs', described below, outputs a terminal command while
extracting from it the padding information, and then outputs the
padding that is necessary.
