VMS terminal I/O
>From mknox@UTEXAS-11 Mon Apr 26 07:32:01 1982

I am attempting to post a VMS QIOW read to the terminal with a different
set of terminator characters than is standard (as per the I/O Users Guide).
The relavent code is:

   .
   .
trmchr:  .quad  8
   .
   .
   .
  $qiow_s  chan=chanl,-
    func=#(io$_ttyreadall!io$m_noecho!io$m_timed),-
    p1=buffer,p2=strlen,p3=#120.,p4=trmchr
   .
   .
   .

The problem is the P4 parameter.  It causes the routine to blow up with
an access violation, unless trmchr contains a 0.  In any event, the termination
characters remain unchanged.

What am I doing wrong???
