This is not a decnet but a wsh problem. We have had it since the beginning 
of 4DDN, and are now at 4DDN Vers. 2, and VMS 5.4 . The only way I could 
use terminal windows of the vax efficiently was to install UCX on the VAX, 
which enables me to run create/term on VMS, giving me a DECWINDOWS terminal. 
(Using tcp/ip as transport 8-) in this case). 

Alternatively, you could start xterm on the SGI, and run sethost from there.
