I'm trying to write a Unix csh equivalent to the VMS Session Control software. I need the proper sequences for session control on a VT3xx. (This is for the case of two sessions multiplexed on one wire.) Note: The "switch sessions" control sequence is documented in the manual, what I can't locate is documentation on what the terminal sends when you select "enable sessions" on the set-up menu, and what the correct reply from the host is. I also need to know what the terminal sends when the user pushes the switch session key. Thanks, Sam Lipson Internet: srl%buengc@bostonu.csnet Usenet: harvard!bucs!buengc!srl

Session management on VT300 series terminals is controlled by a protocol named TD/SMP. TD/SMP is proprietary to Digital and not currently documented. Also, be aware that a patent on it has been applied for. -- Jerry

There is absolutely no way of affecting the session manager from a specific session. Also, the protocol used by DEC is patented and cannot be given away. There is however a program called SSU that is sold by Digital Equipment Corporation that will let you do multiple sessions on Ultrix.
