From: John Foderaro (on a vt100) <jkf@ucbmike> Thanks to everyone who responded to my query about MacTerminal extensions to the vt100. Here are the extra escape sequences which MacTerminal (all versions) responds to: Insert Line esc [ pn L Insert pn lines at the cursor Delete Line esc [ pn M Deletes pn lines starting with the cursor Insert Char esc [ pn @ Insert pn blank characters at the cursor Delete Char esc [ pn P Deletes pn characters starting at the cursor You will have put put some null padding after these sequences, or else the next character sent to the Mac is mysteriously eaten. Unix users: A cheap way to get a Mac termcap entry is to take the vt132 entry, remove the ei and im sequences, and add ic=10\E[@

From: Seymour <JOSEPH@RU-BLUE.ARPA> The Macterminal program then, does not emulate a VT102? The insert and delete character operations don't work here on our DEC 20 in EMACS. This is a lose. I just replaced my Apple //e with a system running Macterminal, and sorry to say, the Apple // did a MUCH better job of terminal emulation. It displayed characters faster, it did REAL VT102 emulation, displayed bigger characters and had a DELETE key. The most annoying thing about Macterminal is that I have to type COMMAND BACKSPACE to get a delete. This is Mighty Tiresome and I always lose home position on the keyboard after the reach for the command key Did I miss something or are these all real problems with MacTerminal? Seymour -------
