From: Provan@LLL-MFE.ARPA All this foreign terminal support in 4.0 looks swell, but does anyone know how to make it work? I added our local terminal to the TermTable.txt file, ran SmgBldTbl on it, and put it in Sys$System, but when I do a Set Term/Dev=hp2621, it's "not a legal argument" or some such. Anybody know the secret?

From: engvax!KVC@cit-vax I think I read something in the Screen Manager documentation about the terminal table getting mapped into the system at boot time. There is something called SMGMAPTRM out in SYS$SYSTEM as well, maybe you have to run that to remap the old terminal description. Maybe you have to reboot. I tried defining a terminal using a private terminal table. The documentation says you define a logical name to point to the new termtable file. That all worked fine. I was able to say SET TERM/DEV=H19 and it ran just fine. Only thing that doesn't work is SHOW TERMINAL. It tries to access a nonexistent file in SYS$LIBRARY. At DECUS they said this was fixed in V4.0. I haven't tried changing the system terminal table though... /Kevin Carosso engvax!kvc @ CIT-VAX.ARPA Hughes Aircraft Co.
