 We have a problem with:

        $ SET HOST/LOG=FOO.LOG/DTE TXK3:

 That is, we are trying to capture, in FOO.LOG, the output of an interactive
session being conducted over TXK3.  The session generates all kinds of
escape sequences for cursor addressing, bolding, etc.  THE OUTPUT DISPLAYS
FINE during the interactive session, HOWEVER, some of the output being logged
to FOO.LOG is MISSING.  Therefore, I have ruled out a communications problem
since the display on my terminal is okay.  It seems as if SET HOST (RTPAD) is
receiving everything okay but is dropping a few characters when writing to
the log file.  The characters being dropped appear random but often seem to
be ESCAPEs.  We are currently running VMS 4.2.  Anyone got any ideas?

 Another question... Does anyone have an effective Virtual Terminal program
that they can send me? (i.e. Something that does effectively was SET HOST/DTE
does - but something we can have the source code to so that enhancements can
be added).  Any versions over the net would be appreciated.
