"protecting the innocent by not mentioning names"
i spoke to someone in dec working on ultrix
he (narrows it down a bit :-)) said he had a vt220 with DIFFERENT proms
which gave an escape when you hit F11 (in vt220 mode)
would it be possible to get copies of these proms
could it be a dec product?
might it even generate bs on the backspace key and lf on the linefeed key
i'd be interested to hear if anyone knows anything about this
