>Whoa, John. I am a bit lost, now. Are you trying to drive the terminal to drive the DEC? If so, show me your hardware setup.

Originally, using VFP to drive Emulator software to Drive the DEC. Now trying to hit the DEC directly from VFP using the MSCOMM control. I'm not sure what you mean, I have a Windows PC, sending info down a serial connection (com1) to the DEC. There is a Telex C078 terminal on the DEC.
