If VMS is like RSTS, there is an "8 bit characters" setting but no separate
8-bit controls setting, and presumably programs assume the former implies the
latter. After all, it does with DEC's terminals.

As Johnny also pointed out, be sure not to have xterm set for UTF-8. Not just
because of 8-bit controls, but also because DEC applications are unlikely to
know about it; they normally assume DEC MCS (a.k.a., DEC Std 169). Latin-1 is
a good approximation though not identical.
