I am having some problems with AE emulating various terminals. I can get
Ascii Express to use macros (dial and soforth), and I turn the emulation
'on', but the stupid progam still doesn't emulate that terminal. Any ideas
on how to FORCE AE into emulating a certain terminal, or better yet,
how to get AE to emulate a terminal without using those pesky macros?
I am getting desperate. I can't use ed from home forever!

In the ASCII express program menu select option U then option S to set terminal type -input mode- Datamedia -output mode- vt52 I believe the settings are 5 and 6. After exiting from the terminal setup mode you can write the macro out to disk (see menu). You can also modify your macro.lib to include the vt52 macro and select it from the macro list (Select A Z / ?). When you sign-on to UNIX type the following: setenv TERM vt52 This should allow you to emulate a vt52

* Regarding setting the environment of the unix host while AE is emul- ating a vt52, you may have to do more than setenv TERM vt52. This sets the term but when you printenv, the termcap is still the .login device values. To change the termcap envir. values if you are running csh, do a set noglob; eval `tset -sQm :vt52 `; unset noglob Notice the backward apostrophes. This should change the termcap values. I just went through this myself, except in cp/m using modem7. Unfortunately, the Apple end still doesn't work properly even though the control characters are correct. For instance, to clear the screen an ESC * sequence is used in Apple cp/m (at least for the microsoft version). When I do a more something, the asterisk gets printed on the screen instead of being a control char. It's like the ESC is getting stripped or something. Anyone have any ideas. I have ascii express and I'll try it but I would prefer to do it all under cp/m. ************************************************* * Jeff Miller * * Multimate International Corp. * * 52 Oakland Avenue * * East Hartford, CT 06108-9911 * * UUCP: * * ...!seismo!utah-cs!utah-gr!pwa-b!mmintl!jeffm * *************************************************
