I recently had a HP150 placed on my desk, to use as a computer
or terminal I guess.  It works fine as a terminal but I don't
have the right termcap entry for UNIX, saying it's a HP2621
works most of the time but a few full-screen applications seem
to freak it out, DOES ANYONE HAVE THE RIGHT TERMCAP ENTRY ??

Also, I didn't get any software, or a compiler (cheap boss maybe),
and would like to know:
	a)  what languages other than BASIC are available  (C ??)
	b)  what else is worthwhile, DSN/LINK, GRAPHICS,
		outside vendor software ??
	c)  how in the h--- do you read the touch sensors ??

FLAME for HP:  I called the toll-free HP number several weeks ago,
	the lady sounded nice and said someone from HP would call
	me about the touch-screen, and info on software would be
	mailed, but I have yet to see it.
