When I worked for a college several years ago that had bought the GIGI
five pack, we ended up writing a command file that did ...

  $ SET TERM/DEVI=VT52
  $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT ""
  ...run EDT
  ...set the term type and characteristics back.

Blech.  Apparently, the educational people who specified what a VK100
(the GIGI) would do left off scroll regions.  EDT uses scroll regions
when it thinks you are a VT100 and not as a VT52.  Whatta waste.  I
haven't been back in a while, but I doubt if any GIGI's are still in
use where I used to work.  The GIGI does make a good boat anchor though.
