connecting RR (VT100 mode) to a UNIX box (Sun 3) via modem yields less than satisfactory results. when using EMACS to edit files, very often (but not always) TABs are not redrawn and use of BACKSPACE produces a garbled line, leaving one with no idea where on the line the cursor really is. redrawing the screen fixes the garbling, but often changes the TABs, usually not correctly. i noticed some of this using RR's VT52 mode as well, but i was never sure if it was phone noise or not. this time i'm positive it's RR, since MiniTerm (v2.9.6)'s VT100 mode works flawlessly. 1) has anyone else experienced this problem? 2) is it indeed RR? 3) is there some option in RR which will correct this? PLEASE SEND REPLIES VIA E-MAIL. thanks. ----------------------------- Alan Epstein Meta Software Corp UUCP: ...bbn!metasoft!alan 150 Cambridgepark Dr Internet/ARPA: alan%metasoft@bbn.com Cambridge, MA 02140 USA -----------------------------

I've had the same problem and found that setting a tab stop at every space in RR provided a crude but effective solution to allow editing with EMACS without garbling the text. I suspect there are a lot of us who would like to know how to solve this problem and encourage someone in the know to post the solution to the net. Thanks.

My Red Ryder 10.3 has tabs set every eight spaces, and it works just fine with EMACS, including clones like JOVE. Having tabs set at every space would just mean you couldn't use tabs effectively. -- Mark H.
