For what it's worth, I use a VT1000 X Terminal via Ethernet to a couple of
MicroVAXes and, security issues permitting, can log into one of these VAXes
from any source, do the appropriate SET DISPLAY/CREATE and CREATE/TERMINAL
commands to create a DECterm window on my VT1000, then --


   -- do an OPEN, READ, and CLOSE on the second of the three new mailbox
devices which appear on the VAX host, and log out of the process from which
I originally created the DECterm window.

  This causes the DECterm window to remain behind, in such a state that
I can use it as a permanent terminal.  That is, I can LOG OUT of it, and
it does NOT disappear (close), and can in fact be logged into and out of
as though it were a permanent terminal connected to that particular VAX.
(Once you've done THAT, it's a simple matter to RUN the appropriate image
to bring up the DECwindows application(s) of your choice.)
