Regarding my previous posting ... IBM 3194 Terminal, VT100 Emulation, GNU, garbled output, and so on ... I have a little more information: I think I can explain why 'cat' would act differently than 'gnuemacs'. GNU puts the tty into some variation of raw mode, and cat uses the tty as is (cooked?). Here's a run-down of what happens: (1) $ gnuemacs ;; garbled output...but ;; (term-script "./foo") is active... (2) $ cat foo ;; comes out perfectly! (3) $ stty raw;cat foo;stty cooked ;; garbled...similar to (1) So...it seems that sending vt100 escape sequences to my terminal works great in cooked mode, but doesn't work in raw mode?! Any suggestions on how to fix?
