	I don't read this new group often, so if anyone can help me out, I'd be
greatful responces directly to me. Here's the problem/question:

	On most vt termials, there are options that tell the host mainframe (in
this case, a VMS system). When the vms system executes a inquire command, the
terminal reponds with the type of vt it is. Now I have noticed that most vt
terminals (including my vt 1.02 emulator) has an option called answerback and
it accepts a text string for its setting. I am interested in the codes that one
might send to invoke the terminal to transmit this string, defined in the
answerback.  Does anyone have any ideas??

Thanks,

Tony
