IF the tektronix driver was installed with GKS on his system, and IF
the program(s) he is using lets the user select the workstation type
of he has source code and can change the workstation type, or the
program(s) already uses the vt240 tektronix emulation.  If there's no
tektronix specific driver available on his system, or there's no way
to select tektronix as the workstation type, then tek emulation won't
do a lot of good.
