	In the Wyse 60, there is an escape sequence to define a character;
it looks like the following:

	ESC c A kk pp bb bb ... bb ^Y		( 40 byte sequence )

	where kk is the font bank ("00" - "03"),
	      pp is the character position ("00" - "FF")
	      bb is the character bit map for one line of pixels (in hex)

I believe that it is the same for a Wyse 50.  The only difference between 
the two terminals is that the Wyse 60 has a bunch of internal functions
like a calculator, an alarm clock and an ASCII table.  It's been a while 
since I've used one of these but I have a friend who has one and I'll 
probably find out from him if it's possible to do the same thing.
