We discovered an interesting thing about the SET TERMINAL command for 
VMS 4.4.  We have an Apple LaserWriter connected to a terminal print 
queue and were having problems with getting more than 2 pages of
output.  It seems that under 4.3 we could say:
	SET TERMINAL /NOINTERACTIVE
and we got proper flow control.

Under 4.4, if you set /NoInteractive on the terminal, it turns on
Passall and kills flow control.  BTW, the combination of /NoPassall
AND /NoInteractive results in the terminal having /PASSALL turned on. 

  The best part is that neither /INTERACTIVE or /PASSALL are
in the new DCL dictionary or in the release notes.  The only reference
was in the I/O user's manual (1 line).
