DEC Technical Character Set

Would it be worth including the DEC Technical Character Set?

There's no need to paste in content from references, particularly when there's no discussion in the topic which ties together multiple references. Tedickey (talk) 13:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I didn't "paste" it from the reference. The idea was to make it easy to include in the article in case anyone thought that it would be a good idea, and I was hoping that someone who's familiar with the VT330 and VT420 would know if it's relevant. —StuartBrady (Talk) 15:27, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

VT220 and up support a dozen or so character sets, counting the National Replacement Characters stuff (vttest can show them, for instance). But few applications use them (I don't know of any) - both since they're specialized, as well as because the particular selection is combined only in DEC terminals or in a few terminal emulators.

Unreferenced claim regarding rectangles

The user's guide doesn't make any claims that this was the first terminal to implement rectangle operations. Tedickey (talk) 10:28, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
