What is the sequence of QIO calls (parameters/functions) that are needed to control DECnet (RTAn) devices. The creation of these is easy: just do an RMS open on sys$node::"23=". I assume that an UFO open will give back a channel for use by QIO. The device is created offline. How do I put it online, read and write to it, etc. to simulate writes and reads to a physical terminal, and do the other things done by RTPAD to implement the SET HOST command. In short, I want the pseudo-terminal capability without loading any special drivers (the only pseudo-terminal drivers I know are Public Domain and occasionally crash the system, I want to pseudo-terminals in software that should be able to be run securely on any system by a non-privileged user). 2. I need as much information as possible on writing a complete ALLIN1 text DSAB, the allin1 default editor driver, the (conversion) text routines, etc. Thanks, Ray Whitmer AMMON::RAY
