What version of the previewer are you using? 

Incidentally, if my memory of the 4105 which used to appear in
various terminal rooms at Mudd is correct, it won't suit your
needs anyway since a TeX workstation needs to work well for
editing text as well as for displaying graphics (unless you have
a VT next to the TEK ;-).

Incidentally, the following will work on VMS to find out what
VDUs are supported on your version of DVItoVDU:

DVITOVDU NL:/VDU=?

(it'll give an error message, but will also list all the VDUs)
