One request that I would like for any terminal emulation is the ability to
emulate a tektronics graphics terminal (or something similar).  On the PC
Kermit we use at Monash University you can do this and get a (rough) plot on
the screen of a fit to data, or a TeX preview.  Such an ability, even though
restricted to a 640 by 200 screen in some of our PC's, is quite critical.

If such an emulation was available for the GS then it would improve the
usefulness no end.  A quick and dirty plot on the screen gives some idea
whether the output is vaguely like the desired one!
