I have a shareware communication program by the Forbin Project and John Friel III called QMODEM, version 1.11, that runs on an IBM PC. I'm using it to connect to a Unix system at 9600 baud. The problem is that it's supposed to support an ANSI mode, but it completely ignores escape sequences on input as if the mode wasn't on. I'd really like to be able to use vi with this thing. Does anyone with any experience with the program have any ideas? I know that ALT-G toggles ANSI mode. Sean

If you look in your DOS manual under ANSI.SYS, you should (I hope :-) ) find a listing of all the ANSI codes (for the PC). Many BBSs use these to create graphics and music. If you want to use vi, try a vt100 emulator like Kermit or Procomm. -- Erik Bailey _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Erik Bailey -- 7 Oak Knoll (USENET courtesy of ihnp4!godot!ejb Arlington, MA 02174 Thinking Machines Corp. ejb@think.com.arpa (617) 643-0732 Cambridge, MA) "I once met a subliminal advertising man, just for a second." --S.
