Please forgive me if I get some terms mixed up, since I don't know much 
about this subject.

My new job is requiring me to use a Unix-based database for their records. 
I think the program they are using is called Softerm. The It guy told me 
the terminal emulation is Honeywell VIP 7813. I've tried to configure 
Softerm, but I cannot do this unless I log onto the system. 
Unfortunately, there are so many graphic symbols that I cannot navigate 
the screen. It eventually locks up on me. We also have another program to 
our disposal called Reflections that seems to have different flavors, so 
to speak. My questions are:

1. Can anyone give me a better understanding of what I am dealing with 
here? Clarification of terms would be extremely helpful.
2. Can either Softerm or a form of Reflections be used to access this 
database? If so, how do I configure it?

Thanks.
