Applying the control key to the ASCII characters in the range 133 to 137 produces mixed results: Control 133 (^[) yields nothing Control 134 (^\) yields 034 *** Only one that works "right" Control 135 (^]) yields nothing Control 136 (^^) yields nothing (but ^6 yields 36, 6 is under the ^) Control 137 (^_) yields nothing In addition, the / key on the numeric keypad yields 055 (a minus sign) Andy -------

Does anybody know of a graphics terminal emulator for the MAC, rummored, announced, on-the-back-burner, etc... I am desperately in need of such a beast, DEC VT-125 preferably, 4010 acceptable.. any pointers would be greatly appreciated.... Keith Sproul Ksproul@Rutgers.arpa -------

I saved the source, but I have never run it because I do not have a Macintosh. It does not run faster than 300 baud, according to the comments in the net article. If you are interested, contact me by electronic mail.

Date: 7 July 1984 03:23-EDT From: Tim McNerney <uw-beaver!TIM@MIT-MC> Subject: MacTerminal To: info-mac@SUMEX-AIM To MacTerminal beta test sites: Has anyone experimented with reconfiguring MacTerminal's keyboard? In particular, how painful is it to make "Delete" (or "Rubout" if you prefer) an unshifted character? Backspace is fine for UNIX, but most DEC operating system use Delete to erase the last typed character. This is probably significant enugh to warrant making it a setup option. Also, a couple of subtle but rather serious bugs were reported just recently about "Set Origin Mode" not homing the cursor, and "Set Margins" homing to the wrong place. I believe these bugs are also present in the released version of LisaTerm. It would be a pity if they released a buggy MacTerminal too. Has Apple comfirmed the existence of these bugs?
