     I have a Pericom Monterey MG 200 terminal which I use in
  vt220 mode. When I down-line load characters, I've only been
  able to define the part of the character which is above the
  baseline, i.e. I haven't been able to define p or g.

  I've used the following sequence for defining ! as filled
  block:

     ESC P 0 ; 1 ; 1 ; 0 ; 0 ; 0 { U ~~~~~~~/~~~~~~~ ESC \

  This results in a filled block above the baseline, and empty
  beneath.
  
  How should I do to define my characters also beneath
  the baseline (using vt220 control sequences) ?
 
  Please EMail your answers, I wont be able to read news for a
  week.

  I wish you all a merry christmas!
