Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Managing 4GL Applications

> ## Setting up the terminal

> Use your terminal’s setup mode to synchronize the terminal with the color and key code definitions in its `PROTERMCAP` entry.

> OpenEdge supports terminals based on definitions of their characteristics stored in a file called the `PROTERMCAP` file. The `PROTERMCAP` file supplied with OpenEdge has built-in definitions for many terminals. If your terminal is not included in the `PROTERMCAP` file supplied with OpenEdge, you must make modifications to that file. OpenEdge uses the shell variable or logical `PROTERMCAP` to find the `PROTERMCAP` file. By default, OpenEdge looks for this file whenever you start the software in a character environment.
