I need to emulate a character terminal, including cursor control,
insert/delete character, etc., plus pseudographic line drawing
ability, on a bitmap terminal.  In particular, I need to
emulate the teletype 5410 or 5420 on a blit or teletype 5620.

Any information you have would be appreciated.

Please reply directly to Len Kasday at ...!houxm!hou2h!lrk (ignore the fact
that this article comes from hou2g!dcs).  Thanks in advance.

The basic layers(1) terminal for the 5620 is a 5410 emulator.
However, it doesn't have line drawing characters (does the 
5410?) I know of someone working on a vt100 clone w/ a graphics
charater set. When he finishes up, I'm sure that we will see 
an announcement in this group.
