I and several friends have recently acquired some vt131 terminals. We've
managed to work out the effects of some of the bits in setup mode, but there
are a whole bunch of things we can't get. If anyone out there can help by
emailing me a copy of the definitions for each bit (there are 11? 12? sets of
4 bits each, numbered 1-7 and the letters A-D (E?)). It shouldn't be a lot of
stuff, just "bit 1, reverse video" etc...
Thanks in advance...

Could be, though, that the vt131 dosn't. I do have a vt131 description some where at home. If you don't get any info from some where other, drop me an e-mail (frank@urz.unibas.ch). -Robert Robert Frank, Institut for Informatics, University of Basel, Switzerland frank@urz.unibas.ch
