Now that I have the BASIC program which was posted to net.sources
which lets my Mac behave like a terminal over the RS-232 port, I need
the appropriate termcap info so that I can use vi, etc.
I know that MacTerm, whenever it is available, will emulate VT100s and
VT52s, but that is sometime in the future and I want to use my Mac as
a terminal NOW!!!
Please respond via mail, and I will summarize and post the results.
If you don't know the answer, please don't ask me; I promise to post
whatever I receive within a week.

If you want to modify it for cursor control and the like, you will have to replace lines 3080 and 4060 with the BASIC equivalent of a switch statement that can intercept the characters, decide if they are control codes, and call the appropriate system routines. Don't ask me to do it. I can't afford a MAC. Regards, -- Binayak Banerjee {allegra | astrovax | bpa | burdvax}!sjuvax!bbanerje
