Hpr(1) has been changed to accumulate incremental motions, and output
only upon encountering a printable character or other escape sequence.
This results in an approximate 2/3 reduction in the size of files sent
to the printer.  A secondary benefit (although the original motivation)
is the elimination of the extra blank page spewed out at the end of a
printout.  Some changes were made to the terminal tables at the same time.
