Don't :-)

Poll and select anyone ?. I remember using an HP1000 system once where the
terminal downloaded a line of text, which could then be edited at the 
terminal
and then sent back to the HP1000. Calling it glacial was an understatement.

The site also had a Vax750 running about 30 VT220 terminals for sw 
development.
That worked very well...
