[comp.sources.d] Pcomm download problem

jl42+@andrew.cmu.edu (Jay Mathew Libove) (05/29/88)

I built Pcomm (posted circa week of 23 May 88 to comp.sources.unix)
on SCO Xenix SysV/286 v2.2.1 and I find that to dial I hit (escape
character) D, and to upload I hit (escape character) U, and to download
I CAN'T !
Any suggestions?
My system has up and down arrows, which send two characters, ESC followed
by (something else). (That is, hitting "up" sends ESC-[A, and "down"
sends ESC-[B).
Thanks!

Reference Pcomm use of down arrow...

On terminals without arrow keys (or systems that can't use arrow keys
in curses) use the letter 'U' for up arrow and the letter 'N' for
down arrow.  The letter 'N' was chosen to avoid the conflict you're
describing.
