The following HP termtypes exist on my Redhat 7.0 system:

Note that these names are case-sensitive.  When I was playing around with
alternative termtypes in Reflection, I had to make sure I entered these names
in lowercase.

I think a small list of standard values is OK, but if I want to I should be
able to enter any string I want into the QCTerm termtype field.  With Linux,
you can create your own customized termtypes with arbitrary names.

No, because you're using uppercase.  Use hp70092 instead.  And don't ask me
what the differences are between "hp70092", "hp70092a" and "hp70092A"; you can
figure that out when you get your own Linux machine.  ;-)
