Recently I bought a used VT101 terminal.  I figured out how to use the
SETUP and SETUP A/B and TOGGLE 1/0 keys to set it up how I want.  I even
have a chart about what all the indicator bits mean.  The problem is when I
turn the terminal off, it "forgets" the settings I typed in.  So I have to
set it up every time it gets powered-up.

What I'd like to do is change the "permanent" default settings.  How do I
do that?  

Someone suggested looking for DIP switches.  Someone else suggested looking
for a dead battery.  Someone else suggested finding a keyboard sequence to
make my settings the default.

Thanks in advance.
