You must have different VMS manuals in Sweden than we do here. They're better
than the RSX manuals, but that's like saying stubbing your toe is better than
dropping an anvil on it. Around here we call DEC manuals "write-only". Quick:
why is all the documentation on RSX terminal I/O hidden in a document on
writing I/O drivers?

Although the new AT&T manuals aren't too great: the documentation on terminal
I/O in there is hidden inside the administrator's guide. Why, I'll never figure
out...
