I'm sure it's happened to you - you're "lurking," following a netnews thread
that is esoteric, but entertaining. Suddenly, you find yourself cast into
the heart of the discussion by a strange twist of fate.

After following the "you think that's old, wait 'til you hear this"
discussion and chuckling, I find myself in possession of a VT131 terminal,
vintage 1984. I know, it's not that old. It's going to serve as a backup
terminal, but we have NO documentation for the beast. Set-up for some
parameters is intuitive; but all those boolean switches on the set-up screens...

Anyone out there have a copy of the User's Guide/Reference Manual that
they're willing to part with that covers these set-up options? I'll pay
postage for you to mail it to me.

I've not posted to netnews before, so I'm not sure about the "Reply-To" path
supplied. But let's try E-mail first; failing that, call me direct at
314-235-3160. If both these methods are unworkable, post back to comp.sys.dec
and I'll get in touch with you directly.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
