8.0;vt100, revision 8.0, 84/03/10
VT100 -- VT100 terminal emulator.
usage:  VT100 [-STD | [-LINES n] [-COLUMNS n]] [pathame [args ...]]


FORMAT

  VT100 [options] [pathname [arg1 arg2 ...]]


  The  VT100  command  creates  a window running the VT100 terminal emulator and
  starts up a Shell within the window.  This command is valid only if  you  have
  the VT100 terminal emulation software package running on your node.





ARGUMENTS

  If any options are specified, they must precede the argument(s).

  pathname [arg1 arg2 ...]
  (optional)          Specify  the name of a command or program for the Shell in
                     the VT100 window  to  invoke.    You  must  give  the  full
                     pathname;  for example, /com/ld.  Arg1, arg2, ... are valid
                     arguments to  the  selected  command  (or  program):    for
                     example, /com/ld //my_node/my_home_dir.

                     Default if omitted:  invoke /com/sh


OPTIONS

  If  any  options are specified, they must precede the argument(s).  Once VT100
  is running, you may  change  the  window  size  with  the  VSIZE  (VT100_SIZE)
  command.

  -STD                Set  up a VT100 window that is 24 lines by 80 columns (the
                     standard size of a VT100 screen).

  -LINES n           Set up a VT100 window with the number of lines specified by
                     'n'.  The number of lines cannot be greater than the number
                     of lines in the DM window running the VT100 emulator.

  -COLUMNS n         Set up a VT100 window with the number of columns  specified
                     by  'n'.  The number of columns cannot exceed the number of
                     columns of the DM window running the VT100 emulator.


EXAMPLES

  1.  $ VT100                Create a window running the VT100 emulator
                             and start a shell running within the window.

  2.  $ VT100 /COM/TELNET hostname
                             Open a connection to the remote system
                             specified by 'hostname' and create a window
                             running the VT100 emulator.
