I have just received a Tektronix 4209 terminal which works. Manufacture date is 1987.
I vaguely remember plot commands for a tektronix system when I worked for AT&T Western
Electric in 1980's. These were not the 4014 storage tube stroke vector displays but
the first raster displays.
Does anybody have a Plot-10 command summary?
Is this the correct set?

Some people are just toooo lucky ;-)

I thought, that plot-10 was a library to use tek codes ?

Plot-10 was a callable library, correct.
Other commands could also be used to talk to this terminal directly,
in a different language, simpler. Plot-10 was meant to work with
whole ranges of Tek devices. I have good docs on a 4107 (probably
very similar) and can fish up info for you from there. At this escape
sequence level it was very much like a DEC VT125, (only faster,
sharper and more functional) if you've ever been there.
