~ Greeting-
    There is already a standard in the 6809 os9 for terminal type
determination.

It is the sys/ttytype file.  here is part of mine below.

 /term coco3
 /t2 vt100
 /t3 vt100
 /w1 coco3
 /w2 coco3

It goes on like that.  There is even a utility for setting the terminal type on
login.  It is called ttyset.  I think Pete did it.  A ttytype file could be
used in OSK and a utility could be written to set your env var to the termtype
at login.  Right now if you log into my system your startup files tells you
what type of term the system thinks you are on and gives you a chance to change
it then and there.  Same would work for OSK.  Not very hard at all.  Matter of
fact I would have it going now if I had my MM1 yet! Paul get the whips out and
drive the rodents faster! ;)
