Hi Vitalio,

That=E2=80=99s great it=E2=80=99s now working for you!

Do you think you would be able to generate some text to add to the i18l
section of the handbook with your findings about vt(4), and submit it in a
bug report?

You could initially just submit this as plain text, or even better if you
wanted to go the next step, as a diff to the handbook source.

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/doc/head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/l10n/

Instructions on how to submit improvements to the handbook are described in
French here:
