Response to Guy Harris's response.

The 5620 does redraw the screen (window) without notifying the controlling
program.  The 5620 also keeps track of which mode the various windows are in.
Thus one window can be in VT100 mode while another is in Tek 4014 mode.
I do not know it the bell people though about the key pad also.

My question is "Is the communication switching done in a program or
is it done down in the kernal?".  I was told that it was down in the
kernal and I thought at the time that it really need not be.  Now it
sounds like (from the base note to this response) that you run a special
program to make the 5620 do its thing.  Or did I miss something?
