Yuck. Guaranteed to scare away novice users, like me.

Do you really expect people to type that gibberish in the 'set term'
command?  Surely this belongs in an auxilliary file, or should
be constructed by the driver itself from more user-friendly
commands on the order of 
	set termoption packages (mathpmnt, times, ...)


And what is that font encoding business?  Is it fighting against
the "set encoding" command?
