I've been using Red Ryder (version 10.3) for a few days as a terminal
emulator and have come across a couple of questions that the documentation
I have available doesn't answer. I was hoping that someone out there
in net-land could help...
1. Due to the funny protocol of the cisco ethertip, I need to be
able to generate Control-^ characters from the keyboard. I
cannot do this with either Command-Shift-6, Command-6, Option-6
[as the documentation lists], or any variation thereof. I *have*
added it to the control button set on the "General Status Bar",
but that's kinda clunky. What am I doing wrong?
2. In some of my macros I would like to have carriage return
characters embedded (like "ATDT5551212^M") but again, nothing
I try seems to work. Is this beyond what the macros can have?
If not, how do you escape the <return> key to have it added to
the text?
3. Also, is there any way, when I have "[`] sends escape sequence"
turned on, to send a back quote without fiddling with the
Customize/Keyboard Mapping Preferences options? (is there some
way to map "clear" [I'm on a Mac Plus] to escape? That'd be
great!)
Overall, I must admit that RR is an excellent terminal emulator/comm
package! I like it much better than any of the other similar programs
I've tried...
Thanks!

I am not sure about some of your questions, but to put a return in a macro or procedure just have a "^M" such as you showed in your message. That works fine. If you want a "^" it is "^^", but if you want a control^ I have no idea, maybe "^^^"? Mark Cookson

Well, I know how to do this one, as I use the macro keys as my phonebook (most frequently dialed numbers are in macro keys). You put control character in macro keys thusly: Type the text ('ATDT 5551212'), then type a caret ('^'), then the letter of the control key that you want ('M'). In other words, you had it exactly right when you type that parenthetical expression in line 2 (of the quoted part, above). Hope at least this little bit helps... wizard -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: ...!cs.utexas.edu!bigtex!jclyde!wizard or wizard@jclyde.cactus.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joy is in the ears that hear. -- Stephen R Donaldson.
