From: Dick Kalagher <kalagher@mitre> I was somewhat disappointed that the Macterminal documentation did not have much technical info. In particular, a list of codes that the various keys send when emulating a VT100. In most cases, one can assume they are the same as in the VT100 manual. However, does the Mac emulate the "newline" key on the vt100? One can send a "Command-J", however that is somewhat of a kludge. I have not found any other way to do it- has anyone else? This is needed since with our system we go through a protocol converter which makes a VT100 emulate a 3270 which is used to access an IBM 4381. I can't use the 3270 emulation in the Mac because the configuration expects 3270's to be connected directly to the IBM while all other terminals go through a LAN to the protocol converter. Thus there is no conversion for a 3270. If this sounds confusing its because it is.

From: Rich Alderson <A.ALDERSON@LOTS-A> Try contacting Jerry Callen at the University of Chicago Computation Center. He has done a great deal of work with making Macs talk via MacTerminal to Atalanta protocol converters and IBM Series 1/4994s. He can be reached as follows: Mailnet: Systems.JLC@UChicago.Mailnet (or Systems.JLC%UChicago.Mailnet@MIT-Multics.ARPA) BITNET: SYSZORT@UCHIMVS1 or SYSZORT@UCHIVM1 SnailMail: Jerry Callen, Sr. Systems Programmer University of Chicago Comp.Center 5640 South Ellis Avenue Chicago, IL 60637 AT&T: (312) 962-6036 Tell him I sent you.
