I'm sure this has been posted at least a million times. Can the 4010 or 4110 be used with vi? Many termcaps I've seen say not. How about graphtext for doing this or going into graphics mode to reposition the text cursor? Has anybody done this or do you have anything that works? Thanks in advance for any help. -- Kurt Haserodt ..!ihnp4!wucs!kurt Box 1045 Washington University (314)-889-6160 St. Louis, MO 63130 USA

The storage tube based terminals (401x, 400x, 4114) work just fine in open or ex mode. The raster based terminals (410x, 411x except 4114) support ANSI X3.64 and work quite nicely in visual mode. Many of us use them daily as UNIX(TM) terminals with vi/emacs/jove/etc. They also emulate much of the VT100 command set so that many of the VMS screen based stuff can run successfully. (Note that some very early 4112 and 4113 terminals will need an upgrade to add the X3.64 capability.) The older raster terminals (402x) also work with vi but are not X3.64.

Generally not very usefully, since there is no way to erase characters
without erasing the entire screen (true of the 4010, I don't know the
4110). There are many Tektronix 4010-compatible terminals that also
have a reasonable normal video terminal mode; the latest one we tried
was the Selanar HiRez-100. Recent Tektronix terminals such as the 410x
series are pretty good too.
