Hi,
in the doc for xterm it says that a program can use ESC-sequences to
switch between TEk-mode and vt102 mode. Usually the esc-sequences are
<ESC>[?38h in order to go to TEk mode and <ESC>[?38l to go back to
VT mode, e.g. the VT window. The ESC-sequence for switching to TEK mode
works fine, but not the other way round. Could some kind soul give me
a hint what i'm doing wrong.

Environment: a DECstation 3100, startup xterm in vt-mode, telnet to a
VAx/VMS system (VAX-Ultrix-Connection, UCX telnet), setting the terminal
to vt102, nowrap and then display from a package running under VMS some
graphic on the Tek-window.

Peter
