I am using Desterm 1.(something) and it works great with some editors I use in VT100 emulation mode, but not others. I call to different systems and use different editors on those systems. Some editors I use require different CTRL sequences to move the cursor. It would be great if I could tell DesTerm to use these CTRL codes instead of what it uses so that I could use my cursor keys. Any help would be great.

I would like to point out, in the documentation for Desterm that the punter problem is mentioned. He had the specs for a newer version of punter that I have never run across. It generally will work in single transfer mode, but not multi-transfer mode. As for the xmodem, I have never had any problems with it. I used rxsx umodem and xmodem with it. The only problem I've had with the ymodem is in the send mode. I can't get it to send anything but one file and that the first on a disk. Ymodem works great in recieve mode though.

is there Desterm 2.0 yet? I want to know if anyone has any experience with "Ultraterm V3.0" or Dialogue 128, or "handyterm 8.*" esp. with 2400. Since I call mostly C/G cBM BBS's, i have had problems multi d/ling on the Cnets but only the Cnets <128, V4.0> but I digress. one other question, does anyone know what is the fastest protocol for file Xfers? is it Wmodem? -Mark Dolengo

Second off, my experiance with cursor keys has been the following. I have accounts on four XENIX or SYSV systems, one is a tandy model 2000 (an upgraded model 16) on this system vi will correctly use the cursor keys, but will not throw me into vt100 keypad application mode, so I dont know if the keypad works correctly. The other systems I'm on throw me into keypad application mode but with not use the codes for either the keypad or the cursor keys. I've compiled micro-emacs on 3 of the systems with the VT100 cursor key interpert set, but it will not use the vt100 cursor keys. Can anyone help me with this?

There are several reasons for this, but it suffices to say that Matt has become sufficiently eager to release it that he's wrapping things up fairly quickly. We are running off the manual today. By the end of the week, 2.0 packages should be shipping to registrants who didn't get 1.02 from Matt. >cursor keys has been the following.

DesTerm's VT-102 mode supports evereything that a Commodore 128 can support, and that includes full numeric and application modes for the keypad. When in ANSI or VT-102 mode, hitting a cursor key will send the correct ESC sequence as defined in the ANSI standard. Unfortunately, you can't load a new keyboard translation table. This is something that I have encouraged Matt to consider, but it hasn't come up as much of a priority. >I've compiled micro-emacs on 3 of the systems with the VT100 cursor key >interpert set, but it will not use the vt100 cursor keys.

The Punter protocols (PTP and C1, known as 'old' and 'new Punter' protocols, respectively) are clearly defined and DesTerm uses some of the code that Steve Punter released into the public domain for its C1 implementation. There are, as far as we have been able to find, THREE patches to the C1 code that were designed to allow batch transfers. These were never very well documented, and DesTerm 1.02 only supports the most recent of the three (the only robust version). DesTerm 2.0 should work with the second version of "multi-Punter" transfers. Please keep in mind that these batch alterations were not designed by Steve Punter!

Since I call mostly C/G cBM >BBS's, i have had problems multi d/ling on the Cnets but only the Cnets <128, >V4.0> Ultraterm III doesn't have a C/G mode...the most it can do is disable the ASCII/PETSCII translation, which IMHO, doesn't match up to DesTerm. The only thing that Ultraterm has over DesTerm v1.02 is the ability to edit the buffer, and built-in REU support. Both of these deficiencies have been rectified with the new version of DesTerm. The other two, I have never seen. Daryl Turner <umturne4@ccu.umanitoba.ca>
