3641.0. "Is Sys$Command a DECterm?" by SUBWAY::OBERLE () Mon Nov 12 1990 12:09

    Is there some way to determine, from DCL, whether Sys$Command is a
    DECterm?  It appears to emulate a VT-3xx so faithfully that it is
    impossible to tell the difference.  What I'd like to do is write a
    command procedure to either Spawn a subprocess, on a genuine VT-3xx,
    or use "Create/Terminal" on a VAXstation.
