REGIS graphics has been around for at least 10 years, on DEC terminals
(initially on the VT125).  The tone of your question clearly demonstrates
that you haven't the faintest idea of what you're talking about.  Do your
research:  go to your university computing center or library and pick up
a VT240 manual.  Check it out and then make statements. The VT240 has a
miriad of other functions besides REGIS, TEK and SIZEL graphics (multinational
support, downloadable fonts, remappable keyboards, printer support, just to
name a few ), none of which is included in a plain VT100.
