I am having several problems with VLT (version 4.226).  I believe that they
are due do lack of understanding, not bugs; and I would be very grateful for
any tips.

1. Sometimes - for no apparent reason - a requestor pops up:

	Script - REXX returned:
	REXX - can't find/create port

Sometimes if I ignore this and keep doing whatever I am doing, it just goes 
away.  Other times, it is followed by a requestor:

	Serial- Port is busy
	Ctrl- Q to reset

When this happens, ctrl -Q just gives this same requestor back, and I
cannot do anything but exit and redial.  (I have Arexx, but I do not
really know how to use it.)

2. The top few lines always get cut off of Tektronix plots.  This is really
annoying because the emulation works so well otherwise.  I am not running 
morerows, or any other non-standard thing to increase the size of allowable
screens.  Is this the problem?

3. Does anyone know where the TEX version of the documentation is (other than
BIX - I do not have acess)?  I would like to get it.
