I now have the manual that came with that copy of version 3.4 of Dynastar 
(all of that has now been declared Public Domain in case anyone is worried 
about the copyright status, see a post on the Flex User Group list) but 
while the two files I need to play with are discussed, its only an 
overview, with zero definitions of what bite does what.  Since it uses the 
scred idea of a termset file to adapt it to the various coco/ansi/term 
screens, there might be something about the termset files variables in the 
level 2 development kit which I have, but there is a second file, also 
looked for in /dd/sys, called ds.init, which may have similar functions, 
and while I have one of those, it sure doesn't resemble the dump I located 
somewhere in the first 14 pages of google hits, 95% of which were for 
Dynastar Ski's.

So I'm still stumbling around in the dark with rapidly failing batteries in 
my flashlight.

Are there any clues out there in dusty mental attics that might help me 
decode this puzzle?

Thanks everybody.
Cheers, Gene
