[mod.computers.vax] Resetting the terminal

gayman@ARI-HQ1.ARPA.UUCP (02/25/87)

When you enter the EDT editor the screen is reset.  A solution - convert
to TPU.  There are several section files out there that emulate the EDT
editor so it shouldn't be too different.
                                                                         
Good luck.

I have a VT241 terminal which I usually set to display amber text on 
a dark banground by typing the followin line:

P1pS(M0(H000L000S000)1(H000L000S000)2(H240L045S005)3(H140L045S035))\

The problem is that whenever I go into the EDT editor and issue the 
CHANGE command to use screen mode editing, the screen gets reset 
to green letters in on a dark background.  Does anyone know why this 
happens, and more importantly what I can do to prevent it ?
