It's not as hard to imagine for those of us using
xterm-xf86-v32|xterm terminal emulator (X Window System):\
which doesn't use "tc=". IIRC, I read in some XFree86 document that
that one should be used, but I might have just noticed it there and
thought it sounded better than "xterm" (with tc=vt220).
But then all of these can cause problems when people expect you to be
using "cons25" like when I was complaining about a problem with "groff
-mandoc -Tascii /tmp/ipfw.8 | less" as suggested by the mdoc man page.
I got the impression that FreeBSD is "designed for cons25".
