Very useful information.
BUT the script only sets G1, in many (most?) situations it's normal to
use either G2 or G3 for the GR set and reserve G1 for the DEC Special
Graphic set so your can use ^O and ^N to map in line drawing characters.
This way you can pretend your terminal is the mythical beast called
an 8-bit VT100.
