        !             4: The Virtual Terminal (VT) standard is the OSI terminal service.
        !             5: Included in the release is an implementation of VT that is roughly comparable
        !             6: to an average \pgm{telnet} implementation.
        !             7: 
        !             8: The implementation included runs only on Berkeley \unix/.

        !            15: There is currently one initiator which uses VT: \man vt(1c).

        !            20: which prompts the user for commands.
        !            21: Command mode is entered by typing an escape character
