        (SSTATUS TERPRI...) also still loses for SFA's. Can we have that
	ask the SFA, too since it may be a TTY driver. Tnx. -kmp
    Isn't SSTATUS TERPRI obsolete anyway?
It is only obsolete if you are willing to claim that the same flag which
drives TYO level auto-newline insertion should also drive PRIN1 attempting
to make the output readable (which does NOT need to imply breaking atoms
across lines), AND if you are willing to claim that a per-stream flag
such as this is losing in "winning new io".  As i remember it, the io
code in lisp understands the bit represented by this flag in all types
of file arrays.  (status terpri) should be allowed for all kinds of
streams, should be on by default, and should not affect PRIN1 putting
line breaks BETWEEN atoms.
