DEC VT102

control codes. As your VT102 doesn't do Tek 4014, this isn't applicable.

(For those who haven't been using X-windows for the past decade, "xterm" is a commonly used terminal emulator for X-windows.) One gripe about terminal emulators: *never ever* assume that because an emulator supports an escape code, feature, or function key, that the item being emulated supports it. An example from an article of mine that Rick thought was relevant enough to include in his archive (http://www.cs.utk.edu/~shuford/terminal/emulation_how_to_news.txt): The worst offender I've found is a commercial editor that requires VT100 users to hit F5 through F10 to access certain abilities that are rather necessary - such as exiting the editor. Despite repeated phone calls to the company, I've yet to convince them that a VT100 does NOT have F5 through F10 function keys. They claim that because some popular Windows-based emulators implement these function keys in VT100 mode, a real VT100 must as well. Arrggghhh!!!! I'm tempted to deliver a half-dozen true VT100's to their corporate offices via catapult. Gees, that's news to me. I've been running X-windows, and all the big X-windows applications, under VMS for most of a decade now.

Yep. DECWindows = X-windows+Motif. Don't get too wrapped up in names :-)

When you do manage to get it up and going, head straight for one of http://www.decus.org/libcatalog/description_html/vs0185.html ) and have some fun!
