        Have you had any success using SMG$ routines while running on
a VAXstation (TEK4125 or 4129 emulation)?  If so, I'd like to hear of it.
For some reason, many of the SMG$ routines (DRAW_BORDER, etc) produce
mindless drivel on the above terminal, yet work fine on a VT240 or
a Pc running a VT240 emulator.

        Settings on the terminal (VMS side) are:

        /REGIS/DEV=VT200/ESCAPE

        Locally on the VAXstation:
        *CODE ANSI

        Also, the table of accepted escape sequences for these terminals
do not seem to indicate Regis support... yet REGIS is a DEC invention
and these are DEC terminals... can someone verify this?  Thanks.
