Library /sys$common/syshlp/basichelp.hlb Graphics, OPEN...FOR_GRAPHICS  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The OPEN...FOR GRAPHICS statement  opens  and  activates  the  specified
  device for graphics input or output.  The quoted string must be a system
  or logical name for a device of the actual  type  specified  or  a  file
  specification  for  a  metafile.  If no OPEN...FOR GRAPHICS statement is
  executed and graphics output statements are executed,  VAX  BASIC  opens
  the default device.

  Example

  !Open a VSII
  OPEN "VT247" FOR GRAPHICS AS DEVICE #1 , TYPE 41
