Sorry, that should have read DECDWL.  If they couldn't get DECSWL right,
then they truly are hopeless.  Put the following into a command file and
execute it.

$ ESC[0,8]=%x1B
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "''ESC'#6 This is DECDWL line of text"
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "''ESC'#3 This is DECDHL line of text"
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "''ESC'#4 This is DECDHL line of text"

Try it on a real VT or in a DECterm if you don't see it rendered as line
characters twice as wide (DECDWL-DEC Double Wide Line) and twice as wide
and high (DECDHL-DEC Double High Line).
