[net.info-terms] turning off XON/OFF by software

barmar@mit-eddie.UUCP (Barry Margolin) (02/27/84)

     I would like to have a shell
     that echoes a control sequence to the terminal to turn off XON/XOFF,
     calls emacs, and turns them back on when done.  Unfortunately,
     I cannot seem to find that magic sequence to toggle the XON/XOFF
     bit on the vt100.

There is no such sequence.  Use of XON/XOFF is not a host-settable
parameter in the VT1xx series.  Hopefully this is something that is
fixed in the VT200 series, but I'll bet it isn't.
