Thank you for taking the time to look at this. Since Maxima has dozens
of changes in every release, it would make the documentation
incomprehensible we compare the current version to any previous version.
For this reason I am pretty strongly convinced the documentation must
describe the current version alone. Except, I suppose, for unusual
circumstances; this isn't one, I don't think.

If the 'dumb' terminal is now supported, it seems appropriate to give it
the same level of description as for any other terminal. That might mean
just putting it on the list of supported terminals and cutting out the
special mention shown above.
