He could not doe anything but text based commands, ie DIR, etc., but it was DOS in a window on the 3/50 that was running on the 386i. Therefore I would assume that a VT100 could do the same, but TEXT ONLY. For now anyway. AGAIN, don't take this as the absolute gospel truth. That 386i is a hot machine. -- Guerry A.
