monitor installed. The only problem with a VT05
is that it
is an upper/lower case terminal with uppercase only display.
This lead to interesting problems with earlier versions of
tops-10 which didn't understand lower case versions of commands:
.dir
?dir?
If the display was uppercase only, wouldn't that have been
.DIR
?DIR?
(and I can see how that would have driven even the most
experienced person insane)?
