Greetings all!

I would like to be able to write short messages to the
status line of our wyse 50 terminals, thereby not inter-
fering with the applications that are running. The environ-
ment is sco Xenix 2.2. 

Could someone point me in the right direction? Is it even
possible? Thanks in advance for all replies. I'll post
a summary if the response warrants.
