EAT ME
Hello everybody. Could someone point give me a few interesting VT102 +
beyond codes that I could incorporate into a program I'm writing?
It would be interesting to support effects like double-height,
double width, blink, and any other interesting effects. Graphic characters
would be fun to support.
A small summary of 'neat' things would be very fun. Preferably for Vt102
I guess.
Thanks

A faster way to get a <ESC> while in EDT it to hit the ESC key twice. At least this works on our VAX/VMS system under EDT. I don't remember whether it works in the TPU EDT emulator or not. You can also use the SPECINS command sequence under EDT. It's been a while, I think the character sequence was in decimal wasn't it. If that's true then doing <GOLD> '2' '7' SPECINS should do it. Check SPECINS to make sure (I'm on UNIX right now, not the VMS system). -- john.Latala@Waterloo.NCR.COM
