Those of you who have tried DECwindows know that DECterm has options to
answerback as a VT240 or VT340 (among others).  Both of those are
graphics terminals capable of Tektronics 4010 emulation; is that
functionality present in DECterm?  If so, how is it activated?  Is there
an escape sequence that switches modes?  (I've never used a *real*
VT240/340.)  Under UIS, similar funcionality was provided by an entirely
separate emulator in a different window.

DECwindows tip of the day: if you're on a non-GPX VAXstation, you're
probably pretty tired of the slow, wavy scrolling in your DECterm
windows.  The following setting:
	DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.batchScrollCount:	12
can be inserted into SYS$Library:DECW$Terminal.Dat (to be system-wide)
or SYS$Login:DECW$Terminal_Default.Dat (to be user-specific) to scroll
multiple lines at a time, greatly speeding things up.  A twelve line
maximum is pretty reasonable for me; your mileage may vary.
