To use the host status line, you must first enable it as host writable,
then switch to that display.  The sequences are (where esc is the escape
character)

esc[2$~	    select status line type=host-writable
esc[1$}	    select active status display=status line

Then all the cursor position and attribute commands will apply the
status line.

esc[0$}	    select active status display=main display

puts you back into your main window.

I prefer to use the title bar or icon of my decterm for some information.  The
sequence for that is (in DCL)

$ OSC[0,8] = 157
$ ST[0,8] = 156
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT OSC,"21;''P1'",ST	!set window name
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT OSC,"2L;''P1'",ST	!set icon name

Hope that helps.
