Agreed.  Now, has anyone actually used these ioctls?  I'm working on a
couple of applications where some of the capabilities of the so-called
'virtual ttys' would come in very handy, but I can't figure it out from
the manual page (sxt(7)), and AT&T has been less than no help.
Any working code fragment, or suggestions as to where to look for more
info, would be greatly appreciated.

I will, of course, summarize to the net if anyone else is interested.
