Theres a bug(feature) in the version 3.0 sys$library:scrshr.exe which
causes it to fail when trying to use the foreign terminal package and
and monitor. The buffer used to pass strings between the two images is
not big enough and so the initial screen is never written properly.
 I have found that the following patch fixes this problem and allows me
to use adm3a'a, soroc's, concept 100's, telerays to run monitor and phone.
$set def [.scrft]
$patch scrshr.exe
dep/word 615=0fc00
dep/word 61c=0400
update
 The resulting messages come out of patch if everything works right

%PATCH-I-NOLCL, image does not contain local symbols
old:	00000615:  0FE00
new:	00000615:  0FC00
old:	0000061C:  0200
new:	0000061C:  0400
%PATCH-I-WRTFIL, updating image file DRC0:[GRAVES.SCRFT]SCRSHR.EXE;3

 Hope this saves someone the trouble I had to go to.
