Ouestion: Control codes.

The control codes for animation, I was told, in a standard vt100 terminal from UNIX, are supposedly printed in the environmental valuable TERMCAPS. So, to animate, I would have to use the codes listed in that variable. People told me to print that variable out on the screen with printenv. However, I don't seem to be able to find such a variable in my env, and printenv TERMCAPS just doesn't work. Could anyone lend a suggestion or perhaps does anyone have a list of codes for vt100 terminals? Thanks.
