I've been fooling with the Bellcore mgr, trying to make it work with- out a mouse. So far I seem to be missing something. The critical routine is do_buckey, which checks to see if the following character is a "buckey" character (i.e. one which has its eighth bit on). This is determined by masking out all but the last two bits of a character read from the keyboard (c is obviously an unsigned char). if( !(c & 0200) ) return 0; /* Not a buckey character. */ This is all fine, but I just wonder how you get characters with the eighth bit set from the keyboard under Xenix. If you must know, I came originally from the MS-DOS world, and the ins and outs of how Xenix handles these sorts of things is still in the process of be- coming clear to me. Any help would be much appreciated. I do not know whether the answer should be obvious or not. -Richard L.
