I'll have to look into that Mac240 software, sounds cool.

I just did a bunch of work messing with this. It works on the Mac emulator called
"Mac240" for 68K machines, which also emulates ReGIS graphics. I would have no
idea what VMS would 'support', but it's just a matter of dumping escape code
sequences to the terminal.
I have been unsuccessful at getting a real 220 to respond to the escape codes that the Mac
emulator seems to accept, according to the VT220 programmer's reference.

I came across this little gem when perusing VT220 escape code:
"4.4.2 Designating Soft (Down-Line-Loadable) Character Sets
You can define a soft character set (font) that may or may not replace one of the existing
hard sets (ROM fonts). If you do replace a hard set, the replacement occurs for both the
80 and 132-column versions"
Does VMS support this? Or is it up to the terminal emulator?
