[BRLTTY] We could change the banner

That'd make the banner very long. It already takes far too long to clear on 
short displays, i.e. those not large enough to contain the whole text. 
Lengthening the banner would make this start happening on larger displays.

>I don't think I'd refer to GDF; I've never seen it anywhere except BRLTTY.

It must be really old terminaology. What are those keys called these days?
