	We got here three new and original DEC VT220s. The problem with them\is that when they are used in the VT220 mode, I see all kinds of strange   
characters on the screen. It seems to me that those characters are the 
characters that have the high bit on, but the problem exists in VT220 7bits and
VT220 8bits modes.
	Also, don't you agree with me that it is quite silly of DEC to put the
back-space as F12, the Escape key as F11, the DEL key instead of the back-space
key and the "><" symbols on the bottom left key? Also, you can't make a steady
block cursor.

	Raanan.
