How to configure vt100/wyse50 in VP/ix for line graphics

[Bill Irwin]

I am trying to configure an Altos III (vt100 compatible, almost) and Wyse
60  with an ascii keyboard for use with VP/ix.  I have a front-end script
which  changes  the  TERM variable from vt100 to vt100nam,  but  for  the
wyse60 it changes to wyse50n.

When  I  invoke  the VP/ix menu (ESC SO or ESC s) I  get  bad  characters
drawing the box that surrounds the menu.  The vt100 prints "q"s and "x"s,
while  the wyse50nam prints all "."s.  I have not been able to locate  in
TFM  where the appropriate graphic characters are specified.  In the file
"/usr/vpix/term/wyse50n",  the  output  characters mappings  section  has
every line being mapped to a ".".

The  manual says to run a Wyse 60 as a wyse50 if it doesn't have an AT or
101 keyboard.  Surely VP/ix should be able to draw a simple box menu with
lines.   There must be something simple I've overlooked, but I sure can't
find it.

Any ideas?
