Get yourself in PROGRAM MODE by selecting MACROS-PROGRAM_MODE-ON with your mouse (or press right-amiga left-parenthesis). After that, select the OPERATION-BEEP_ VOLUME function with the mouse and a requestor will come up with the AREXX beep function in it. Delete this text and hit RETURN. Go back to PROGRAM_MODE-OFF and you're ready to go. The beep you will be left with sounds stupid, but no error. You can also choose volume 0 for an inaudible/visible beep. Don't forget to save the configuration by selecting VLT-SAVE_CONFIGURATION!

I was hoping someone could help me with my VLT problems. I'm using VLT to hook up to the campus network. I'm having a lot of problems within emacs, such as characters disappearing as they are moved over and the bottom line not displaying correctly. Is VLT completely VT100 compatable? Is there another one that is? -- Ethan

I've heard there is a newer version out (I don't need the Tek Emulation, so that would be good also) but haven't seen a location where to get it. The problem is only when I'm in Normal, Ansi, or Color rendering mode, the function keys at the bottom disappear after a while (I'm using Topaz 11 font for 25 lines/interlace, which is quite readable). Now, I'd like to use the color mode, but don't want it messing up the screen. Has this been fixed? Daniel Richardson RIT- Mech E

I am having several problems with VLT (version 4.226). I believe that they are due do lack of understanding, not bugs; and I would be very grateful for any tips. 1. Sometimes - for no apparent reason - a requestor pops up: Script - REXX returned: REXX - can't find/create port Sometimes if I ignore this and keep doing whatever I am doing, it just goes away. Other times, it is followed by a requestor: Serial- Port is busy Ctrl- Q to reset When this happens, ctrl -Q just gives this same requestor back, and I cannot do anything but exit and redial. (I have Arexx, but I do not really know how to use it.) 2. The top few lines always get cut off of Tektronix plots. This is really annoying because the emulation works so well otherwise. I am not running morerows, or any other non-standard thing to increase the size of allowable screens. Is this the problem? 3. Does anyone know where the TEX version of the documentation is (other than BIX - I do not have acess)? I would like to get it. Pat Palmer (email: reply or ppalmer@oddjob.uchicago.edu)
