From: Jerry Bakin <Bakin@HI-MULTICS.ARPA> I have a VT131 and am trying to use CCA Emacs. The VT131 is a nice terminal, but it seems to require alot of padding. A LOT OF PADDING. CCA-EMACS uses the terminfo system, of which I know nothing. I would not mind updating the terminfo for our VT131 (uses the VT132 (uses the VT100)) but can someone give me a reference to look at which explains the syntax of the terminfo file and how to recreate the appropriate terminal file? Better yet, does someone have a working VT131 terminfo entry? Thanks, Jerry Bakin <Bakin@HI-Multics> P.S. I have tried enabling flow control and disabling flow control. I have tried setting ^S ^Q to ^R Null Command and leaving them as search and quote string. None of seems to help all the time. This leads me to believe I should fix the terminfo entry. What should I be doing?

From: Doug Gwyn (VLD/VMB) <gwyn@BRL-VLD.ARPA> Since the VT1xx family of terminals use DC3/DC1 flow control, the terminfo description should contain the entry "xon". If it does, and if you properly initialize your terminal when you login (via "tputs" or equivalent utility), then the fault lies with CCA EMACS not honoring the flow control protocol (i.e., disabling it).
