 At LOGIN the VTX task should be run via the LOGIN.CMD file in each UIC.  The
 VTX task will then initialize the attributes, both software and hardware, for
 the terminal being used.  This is done so that a casual user will not be
 disturbed by any user who might have left the CRT or driver in a non-standard
 mode.
  
 For the user who wants special attributes set at LOGIN, a file VTX.INI may be
 created that will convey the necessary information.  See the following example.
  
  1 1	SET SMOOTH SCROLL	SET IF 1, RESET IF 0
  2 1	SET AUTO REPEAT
  3 0	SET REVERSE SCREEN
  4 1	SET WRAPAROUND
  5 0	SET AUTO LINEFEED
  6 0	SET INTERLACE
  7 0	SET 132 COLUMN MODE
  8 1	SET VT100 MODE
  
 The first column is a required index for the item of interest and should be in
 column 1.  The second column is used to specify whether the attribute should be
 set(1) or reset(0).  The second column should be separated from the first by
 one space.  The comments that follow are not required but may be placed in the
 file so long as they are separated from the second column by either a space or
 a tab.
  
 The attributes called for in the example above are the default values used if
 the VTX.INI file does not exist and should be the desired attributes for most
 users.
 
 To build the VTX task invoke the command file VTX.CMD.
 
 The full set of files:	VTX.CMD		Command file to Compile and Assemble
 			VTX.TKB		Command file to Taskbuild
 			VTX.INI		Sample initialization data file
 			VTX.FTN		Main program segment
 			VT5X.MAC	VT52 and VT55 initialization subroutine
 			VT1XX.MAC	VT100 initialization subroutine
 			TRMTYP.MAC	Terminal type determination subroutine
 
 After the task is built, install it.
 The taskname after installation is ...VTX
