- I once wrote a program that would do this on a 4994 and presumably also
- on a Series/1. But the 7171 simply doesn't make the termtype name
- available, as far as I know. There's a status query (I forget the
- technical name for it now) that returns a number of parameters; Yale
- apparently added the termtype to the list of values returned after they
- had sold the system to IBM.
