   Check the file /etc/ttys for the type of terminal that the
multiscreen is defined as.  The default for the console is ansi.

A problem that you will probably run into is that you can tell
the OS that the multiscreen is a tek4014, and it will deal with
the codes, but remember that you are dealing with a PC here, NOT
a tek4014 graphics terminal.  You will probably need to run a
terminal.
