#N:ucbcad:2800001:000:1650 ucbcad!morgan Jun 21 13:46:00 1983 I have been using my Apple II+ as an intelligent terminal for a little over a year now. I patched dos to change the "init" command to "term". From the command level of Pie Writer 2.2 (the absolute best of the word processors) I merely type "term" to enter a 1200 baud terminal mode, and ^@ to return to Pie. If anyone is interested, I'll post that patch at a later date. However, I still could not use vi. My apple is equipped with a Videx 80 collum card, with inverse character set chip. After much experimenting, I developed the following termcap entry which works most of the time: bcx c/o morgan!medea /.applecap/ #The following termcap entry works only with an Apple ][+ that is # equipped with a Videx 80 collumn card in slot 3. A special routine # must be installed at the apple end to enable scroll down, here # indicated with a ^U.
