vertically by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the Up or Down Cursor keys.
When you are running one of the DEC 'VT' terminal emulations, it is possible to make
the width of display memory larger than the width of the window by using the Page
Width option in the VT/ANSI/ SCO Settings dialog box. When you want to view
columns stored off-screen, you can scroll horizontally by holding down the Ctrl key
and pressing the Left or Right Cursor keys.

The DEC VT Status Line

A status line can be displayed on the last line in the window when running any of the
DEC VT terminal emulations. An indicator status line is displayed by default on the
25th line the first time you load TeemTalk.
You may choose not to display a status line, or enable a host-writable status line to be
displayed instead. The type of DEC status line displayed is determined by the setting
of the Status Line option in the VT/ANSI/ SCO Settings dialog box. (Refer to the
Setup Menus chapter for details.)
The indicator status line consists of six buttons which show the status of various
operations and enable you to make selections. Some buttons can be clicked using the
mouse pointer to change their state.
