	When you say a terminal hooked up to the Amiga, you mean
a dumb terminal or another Amiga? If it is another Amiga you can
write an ARexx system that uses the serial port to send messages.
If you're using a dumb terminal you could do it, but you'd have
to write ARexx code not only to send messages but to manipulate
the display.
