AT&T 705 multitasking terminal

Yesterday, I discovered part of an AT&T model 705MT terminal in a
thrift shop... it was just missing the keyboard. At the time, I
didn't know that it was a "multitasking" terminal - still not sure
what that means, but I figured that it should be possible to find a
keyboard for it somewhere at some point in time. From what I can
tell, it's VT100, etc. compatible. Since it was priced at only US$4
for the base unit, which appeared to be in good cosmetic condition,
except for some screen burn, I bought it.

Is anyone on this list familiar with these terminals? What is a
"multitasking terminal"?

...also bought an Insync 1428NI monitor for US$4, thinking it to be
a generic VGA monitor (taking a guess at this).
