[] wombat snack I am using a vt102, which is identical (for all practical and most impractical purposes) to the vt100. I would like to run the XON/XOFF protocol for speed reasons, but my editor of choice (emacs) does not understand them very well. I would like to have a shell that echoes a control sequence to the terminal to turn off XON/XOFF, calls emacs, and turns them back on when done. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find that magic sequence to toggle the XON/XOFF bit on the vt100. Any help? BTW, before anyone says anything about the fact that vi understands the XON/XOFF protocol -- I love my buffers, I love my two-window mode, I love my .exec buffer capabilities, I love my intense macros, and I hate moded editors! Thanks for any help on this one, -- The MAD Programmer -- 919-228-3313 (Cornet 291) alias: Curtis Jackson ...![ floyd clyde ihnp4 mhuxv ]!burl!rcj

It can't be done. On page 35 of the VT-100 manual, in Table 3-1,
"Machine States", we find:
SET-UP Feature Changeable from Changeable in
or Machine State Host Computer SET-UP

AUTO XON XOFF No Yes
