I would like some additional information about the "terminal".
When I log in, I have to spend quite a bit of time futzing around
setting all the terminal sizes and characteristics on all four
of the window "panes". For instance, on pane three, I keep
four DECterms open for working on a particular project. Two
of them are 90x40 characters, have SYSPRV enabled, broadcast
disabled, and are set to the project's default directory.
The other two windows on this "pane" are set to different sizes,
positions, directories, etc. In addition, each one needs a
different set of logical names defined. To top it off, I
want some set to tiny characters and others set to large.

Every time I log in, the FT device numbers are different, so I
cannot use that. It would be really nice if there were some
way to automate this setup at login time.

If I knew which "pane" (is this the correct term?) a terminal
were on, and which window it was, I could do this.

Another nice thing would be the ability to set the position
and state (minimized or maximized) of the DECterm from DCL.
I would do this with the old VWS software by using escape
sequences.
