Syntax:
        TCSELECT outfile  -or-  TCSELECT outfile.typ

where "outfile" is the file to be generated by
the execution of TCSELECT.  If no file type is
given, a file type of Z3T is the default.

Syntax:
        TCSELECT

where this alternate form may be used to store
the Z3TCAP entry for the selected terminal directly
