Hi Apollo Gurus -

	Do anybody out there know how to switch a Display Manager
	shell window back and forth between the normal mode and the
	vt100 mode; like when you run "vi" inside a shell window.  We
	have a bunch of users that are firing up vt100 and telnet'ing
	out to other machines.  It seems a shame that they have to give
	up the option of scrolling around in the PAD to gain remote
	editing.

	I guess what I'm looking for (if it exists) are some escape
	sequences similar to those available for xterm that I could plug
	into the termcap database on some of these "external"
	machines.  In the termcap entry for xterm there are two strings
	"ti" and "te" that seem to do this sort of thing for xterm.

	If it matters, we're running DomainOS 9.7.1 with the old 9.5
	BSD4.2 and most of the external machines are BSD4.x based.

	Thanks in advance.
