To: utcsrgv!peterr To: microsof!infomac I've been using MacTerminal (alpha minus something), and have a couple of questions... First, previous mailings to this list have indicated support for insert character. What is the escape sequence for this... the vt200 escape sequence of <ESC> [ <n> @ almost works, but not quite. Second, how is the file transfer stuff supposed to work? In fact, does it work? Third, there seems to be a very minor bug in the cursor control. If you do something in a dialog box, then there is a chance that MacTerminal will leave a stray cursor in its current position. As near as I can figure, you pull down a menu when the cursor is either on or off, this stops it from blinking. Then when you are done with the dialog box, the program is confused as to whether the cursor is really on or off. Assuming that the cursor is drawn using an XOR operation, it can potentially leave the character inverted. Avie
