Okay, as of VWS 3.2, you can get multi colored VT220s by DEFINE /SYS /EXEC
UIS$VT_PRIVATE_COLOR_MAP TRUE   Thereafter, any new VT220s started will
use the color defined in PREFFERED COLORS rather than the normal window
colors, and even if you change the prefered colors after starting up a 220,
the 220 will hold it's startup colors unless you to a RESET TERMINAL from
the additional options menu. I've also found out that unlike *any* other
DEC color terminal I've seen, the 220 with private_color_map will respond
to the extended ANSI color sequences.... <esc>[nm   where n = 30-37 for
the forground color and 40-47 for the background color.

Live Icons are fun... DEF /SYS /EXEC UIS$VT_ENABLE_LIVE_ICON, then delete
all of your current 220s, and start some new ones up - then try the SHRINK
TO ICON option.... Nice.... You get a mini version of your screen in a 
2pt Font... and it's even updated ...... (There is more to this, but I'm
not near my terminal at the moment.. If I find it's anything important
I'll post that as well...)

[It was really hard writing 'COLOR' through this article - we call it
'COLOUR' here, but as the majority of GPX owners seem to be on the other
side of the pond.....]
