From: Fri 8:06 PM Subject: Re: IBM 3151 Terminals to OPENVMS [ emailed and posted ] ~ See the "Support for Third-Party Terminals" chapter in the "VMS RTL ~ Screen Management (SMG$)" Manual. Yep. I actually managed to dredge up an old SMGTERMS.TXT style terminal definition that I wrote for an IBM 3162 terminal, 10 (gasp!) years ago. I dunno whether it matches an IBM 3151. Here tis ... put your definition into a file called TERMTABLE.TXT, then run SYS$SYSTEM:SMGBLDTRM.EXE, then define TERM$TABLOC to point to the directory where your TERMTABLE.EXE lives. Then do a SET TERM/DEVICE=IBM3162. Then you will discover that most VMS full-screen applications don't pay attention to the SMG termtable ... for example, you won't be able to use EDT or TPU in full-screen mode. Or MONITOR. Oh well. A few things will work - SHOW CLUSTER/CONTINUOUS. Most third-party utilities WILL work - e.g. VILE. Have fun, Aaron --- !
