I'm trying to download a character set to my vt240 and I'm supposed
to use something called "sixel bit patterns".  I've got a Graphon
manual which uses the word "sixel" once and only once. The vt240
users guide says a bit more but not enough to be helpful.

Specifically, in my escape sequence I'm supposed to enter something of
the form S...S/..S for each character. Anybody know anything about this?
