I'm curently working with a VT-420.  Nice terminal, but the user's manual
is a little skimpy on detail.  What I need to know is, how many bytes can
you program into one of the user function keys?  Also, are the key definitions
common across sessions (when you have two sessions active)?  I'd like to
use the UDK's as sort of a clipboard for moving text between sessions.
The cut-and-paste facility is a little awkward.

Thanks for any info.
