I don't regularly read this group so I apologize if this has
been asked before.

I just brought home an AT&T 730 terminal.  I was able to connect
to my host in the main window.  But when I tried to run layers so
I could have multiple windows, the screen just locked up.  Since 
I know almost nothing about layers, I'm turning to the net for help.
Does anyone know what I should do to get layers to work?  I'm 
logging in at 9600 baud via Datakit.  I invoke layers with the 
following small script: 

	TERM=730
	DMD=/usr/att/630
	DMD630=/usr/att/630
	EXINIT='set ai window=60 number nomesg'
	export TERM DMD DMD630 EXINIT
	layers -f .lay

My ".lay" file contains four lines of the form:

	X   X   X   X   ksh

where 'X' is a window corrdinate.  

Is there something I should include or is there a different way
to invoke layers that would let me have multiple windows?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please respond directly
to sbrenner@attmail.com.
