10 Control arguments:
11 -terminal_type ID, -ttp ID
12    sets terminal type to ID. Possible types are 1050, 2741, CORR2741, ARDS,
13    TN300, TEK4013, TEK4015, 1030, TYPEPAIRED, BITPAIRED, ASCII, TELERAY11,
14    LA36, SARA, AJ510, AJ830, AJ832.  The following terminals default to the
15    correct table, if the type of the login terminal is set correctly:  1050,
16    2741, CORR2741, ARDS, TN300, TEK4013, TEK4015, TELERAY11, LA36, SARA, AJ510,
17    AJ830, AJ832.  Multics terminal types that are not recognized by APL default
18    to the ASCII table.  The following terminals are automatically switched into
19    and out of APL mode:  TEK4013, TEK4015, TELERAY11, AJ510.  A 2741 is an EBCD
20    2741.  A CORR2741 is a Correspondence 2741.  TYPEPAIRED is a generic
21    terminal type for all typewriter-paired APL/ASCII terminals.  BITPAIRED is a
22    generic terminal type for all bit-paired APL/ASCII terminals.

25 Notes:  This command is useful when preparing exec_com or absentee input
26 scripts that contain APL characters. It "turns on" the APL translations so that
27 the proper codes will be stored in the script for use by APL.
