It seems to me that something is grong with the emulation of vtxxx terminals. If I send the string ESC[?3l the screened will be set to the 80 column mode and the screen will be erased. The screen will be erased even if originaly was in 80 column mode. I would assume that if the screen was in 80 columns mode already the command would have no effect (screen would not be erased). Is this the normal way vtxxx work? - If no could Simon please correct it? - If yes could we have a string which would behave as I described? Thanks, Thanasis

I'd be upset if it didn't work this; the first line in my login.com file on every VMS account I have is: $ cls :== set terminal /width=80 to clear the screen. It doesn't work on some cheap VT100 clones, like the C.

That's what I like about my Plessey terminal (witch is a CIT-101, a little glue and a piece of plastic..8-) Simon, perhaps you could put in a new feature (in the "Terminal 2" dialog): "clear on change-width" ON/OFF. One mans bug is another ones feature.
