I'm pretty sure there was a VWS Programming Manual (may have been
named something different) because I remember programming an interface
to it...   Well, I'll back off from that a bit:  SLAC's Unified Graphics
package had support for VWS, which I hooked into in order to send a
display buffer over Decnet from our 11/780 to my VS2000.  Before we had
any sort of X11 support. :-) 

If there wasn't a Manual, there was sufficient online help, but I'm
pretty sure I worked from a Manual...
