I have some users who would like to use some Televideo terminals
on our system. Can anyone send me a terminal table which will define
this terminal to VMS ? The terminal is called a Televideo Model 925.
Thanks,

After this (or other termtable) file is created, how does one USE it with VMS screen oriented programs? On-line documentation doesn't seem to say what to do, and I'm not sure where to look in the yard of fat orange notebooks on the shelf. Another question. What utilities is this useful with. Does EDT know how to use termtables? MAIL? TYPE/PAGE? DCL command line editing? User programs that use LIB$SET_CURSOR(), LIB$CLEAR_SCREEN(), and the like? VMS C Curses? MONITOR? Etc., etc.? Please send mail if you can.

What you need to do is: 1) Compile the termtable definition you've created. To do this: $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SMGBLDTRM 2) Make the termtable definition available for use. If you're just an unprivileged user, or want to test a new definition without putting other users at risk: $ DEFINE/JOB TERM$TABLOC directoryspec where "directoryspec" is the directory in which you've just built TERMTABLE.EXE. If you're a system manager and want to make the new definitions the default for the system: $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SMGMAPTRM and reboot the system. > Another question. What utilities is this useful with.

I'm not sure what all utilities make use of this. I know that MAIL does (my first experience with all this was in an effort to get mail to clear my screen quickly when I was using a 300-baud dial-up non-DEC terminal). I think that TYPE/PAGE does too, but you'll just have to experiment.
