Strange you should mention that - I noticed it in the docs
for the first time only the night before last. Trouble is,
I don't know anything about the hp2621, and had assumed it
was something esoteric like the textronix that is often provided
(eg in xterm) but I have never seen used...

But now that I look, there is an entry for it in my
termcap file :-)

I wonder what the story is behind that emulation being chosen?
Could it be just that that is what the developers had in their
labs....??
