MultiView operates by looking at the control sequences sent to your
terminal, it then matches that to a MAP, IGN, or ALL file.  The Map file
is used to reinterparate what is sent to something MulitView
understands.  These are all documented in your MultiView manual.  To
"debug" the application in question execute MultiView as follows

   mview -d

This will tell you all the sequences you need to give Multiview a
definition of.  You will probably need to both provide more definiton to
MultiView's MAP files and also modify the control sequences sent by WP
using WP's term program.

We currently have 4.2 WP working under Multiview for wyse 60 epc style
terminals.  It took a bit to do and we had to strip WP of its character
downloading.  But, it works great.

WP 5.0 is a different animal because of its graphical use of the
terminals and we have not yet tackled this project.  Has anyone else?
