The way to stop the symbiont is:
	$ STOP/NEXT <queue_name>
 
There should be no need to actually delete the queue if you simply wish
to modify parameters on the spooled device (SET TERM).  However if the
device has been spooled, you will have to
	$ SET DEVICE/NOSPOOL <queue_device>
before you can do a SET TERM (remembering to set it back to spooled
after altering the terminal characteristics).
