Does anyone have an M8FNK.CMD program for MODEM840 (CPM86)? I would like to change the function key intercept character to something other than ^. It causes problems when using the TOPS-20 EDIT program. Larry Armijo JFAAD@SIMTEL20 -------

I don't have a program for you, but I do have a possible fix. I use
MODEM7 with the normal intercept character - even though I use EMACS
here on SIMTEL20. The trick is to look in your overlay for the option
which defines whether the intercept character preceeds a local or a
remote character. Reverse it. You then type the intercept character
ONLY before a local command. This allows you to use all the control
characters with EMACS. Type the intercept character twice to send it
out over the modem.
