DEC VT102

In the msg back to Zane from a few minutes ago I think I clarified this in that quote which mentions an editing window. No, dang it! Here we go again, like you were questioning a few days ago Tim: why don't some things get indexed? Is there another search engine I don't know of that is able to dig stuff out like this? I normally use Metacrawler as they simultaneously link to five or six or so different search engines on a single search and am able to find a bunch of hits on a single item. As you suggest below, this page is a really great info source just from the past few minutes of scanning it. I certainly bookmarked it under my DEC-specific bookmarks. On that note, If any of us find info source pages (on any machine of course, not just DEC) which seem to not come up under our normal search engine procedures please share them with the rest of the group. I'm still looking for more IBM mini and mainframe URLs and Hewlett-Packard HP250 pages for example. Amen. Obviously, I would need some sort of way to use the windowing feature of the 102. From the Neosoft site mentioned in the last msg to Zane, xterm would have to be used but it won't work on VMS as it doesn't run the X windowing system. Only unix-like OS's. However, am I correct in assuming DECwindows under VMS is the ticket here? I don't yet know if I have DECwindows on that ornery RD53 in my MVII was discussing my problems on last week.
