I just had a strage session with RT-11 on my Pro-350... In my STARTX.COM startup procedure, one of the commands I have is: SETUP TERM,VT100,DARK,JUMP,BLINK,UNDERLINE Which will set the terminal for VT100 emulation, a dark screen with bright letters, jumping scroll, blinking underline cursor... Anyways. It started to freak out on the UNDERLINE, and kept responding with a ?SETUP-F-Invalid setup for UNDERLINE (or a similar message). Odd, as Ive been using this setup for quite some time now... Well, to make matters even worse, I tried a SETUP TERM HELP for laughs, and all the settings listed were settings Ive never seen before! It even had some settings for hardcopy terminals... Never before have I seen these!! I tried a BOOT DW0: and it hang the machine... Power down, and back to normal... Now SETUP TERM UNDERSCORE works. What happened?! PS: Ive only got RT-11 v5 (XM of course) on the machine. v4 and below dont work on the Pro. Billy D'Augustine

Power down, and back to >normal... Now SETUP TERM UNDERSCORE works. What happened?! Well, it seems that my Pro is on its way out:-( I booted it just now, and got that grand ole display of the machine, with the system board highlighted, and a bunch of number. BUT, the machine continuted to boot. At RT-11, I did a SHOW ALL, and everything SEEMS to be fine... :-(
