I've got an original Wyse thingy, at least I think I have. There's
"datamax 2000" written on it, but the picture in the manual matches
the thing.

Patch was rejected by "patch" utility because of line offset; I did
it manually.

I understand you mean wy60? Because your patch changes wy60. And
there's no wy60k in the termcap file.

It works. The first line is like
S S E
H X X
(one line, characters consisting of two letters)
A mystery to me is, however, why the terminal type "wy60-43" still
outputs the two error lines. "wy60" doesn't!
I log in, and get the terminal type wy60-43. I get the two error
lines. I execute your tput command line. Characters are mangled
afterwards. Executing "reset" (typed blind) gives me letters again.
I then execute "export TERM=wy60" and the tput-line again, and it
works. "export TERM=wy60-43" gives me the errors, and the tput-line
again gives me mangled stuff again, which is cleaned up by "reset",
Greetings,
Bernd
