Will any of the commercial terminal programs support "RVT100" emulation (i.e., the ability to keep the UNIX status line displayed on the screen? I've been using Smartcom and it surely doesn't do it. Thanks, Gabe Wiener Columbia University gmw1@cunixd.cc.columbia.edu gmw1@cunixc.bitnet

What do you need to support this? If you need it badly, maybe I can help... I'm writing a terminal program for a Finnish company and they just gave me the rights to sell it outside Finland. I might be able to incorporate this feature in my program. It's too late to try to compete with products like MacTerminal or VersaTerm, but maybe I'll find a market somewhere. (I might try selling site licenses for a ridiculously low price or I could sell the program bundled with a unix mail user interface.) I have a "status line" similar to the MPW status display (on the left side of the left/right scroll bar). I use it for the VT100 LEDs right now, but it has plenty of room (not 80 chars though) and is perfectly safe from scrolling/window changes etc. This terminal also supports screen sizes of up to 32767 characters...so giving up one line from the actual terminal window is also possible. Summary: What's the escape sequence and what does it do? _._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._ | Juri Munkki jmunkki@hut.fi jmunkki@fingate.bitnet I Want Ne | | Helsinki University of Technology Computing Centre My Own XT | ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
