I don't buy the "glass tty" moniker. I don't know why you'd call them 
that. They clearly have capabilities that goes beyond a tty, such as 
cursor addressing and clear screen function, so you can do most things 
on them. The main restrictions would be the uppercase only, and the 
20x72 "resolution" (if I remember right).
