SCO's terminfo for Wyse 50's pretends that it has only one attribute,
and uses the "protected field" bit for it.  This allows you to get one
and only one on-screen attribute at a time (reverse video), *without*
the use of magic cookies and their associated "glitch".

I include below a copy of the SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 terminfo source for
Wyse 50 terminals.  I intend that it should go into the lynx-dev
archives for possible future reference.  I have gzip-compressed and
uuencoded it to avoid possibly harmful transformations by mail & web
software.
