The slave terminals do NOT count as separate users.  They are just
I/O devices in use by a program.  If the program is running from
a batch job or is a detached process, then even that program does
not count as an interactive user.
     
The N-user license only counts against "interactive users".  An
interactive user is one who has LOGGED IN via:

	- SET HOST

	- a terminal multiplexor line

	- a LAT connection

	- (only on a VAXStation) the main display screen

Network jobs (like file accesses), batch jobs, subprocesses and
detached processes are NOT counted against the license limit.
