Does someone with hands-on experience with the Wyse 50... and Televideo 9xx... series terminals know how to determine, from a program that is running on a host computer attached to one of those terminals: 1. what screen attributes are active, in which locations of the screen? 2. what terminal modes are active, especially # columns, and text segment? In order to complete a BackGrounder ii screendriver for this group of terminals I'd like to be able to restore the current screen attributes when the screen gets redrawn. The manuals do not seem to include commands to transmit attribute or mode information to the host. --bridger
