I'm having some problems getting dxterm on a DECstation 3100 to work when DECnetted to a VMS machine. We do a SET TERM/INQUIRE in the system login and a SHOW TERM is identical with a SHOW TERM from a SET HOST session from VAXStation 2000 running VWS. A few things that seem odd follow: 1. Control-Z, Control-C, and Control-Y all echo from the VMS machine as ^Z,^C,and ^Y rather than the reverse video Exit,Cancel, and Interrupt. 2. The arrow keys do not work properly for command line editing. I've tried both application cursor keys and normal cursor keys in the GENERAL setup for dxterm and neither setting works properly. All of this is while using VT300 mode,7-bit controls. SET TERM/INQUIRE returns an "unknown terminal type" when using 8-bit controls. Anyone have any suggestions? -- michael ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael McGuffey, Senior Software Applications Analyst Phone: 304/696-3212 University Computer Center FAX: 304/696-3601 Marshall University BITNET: mcguffey@muvms3 Huntington, WV 25755-5320 Internet: mcguffey%muvms3@wvnvms.wvnet.edu

If not, ignore the rest of this message. > 1. Control-Z, Control-C, and Control-Y all echo from the VMS > machine as ^Z,^C,and ^Y rather than the reverse video > Exit,Cancel, and Interrupt. The echoing of ^Z, ^C, ^Y as Exit, Cancel, and Interrupt is done locally by the VMS terminal driver. Since you are dlogin'ing from ULTRIX, you don't have a VMS terminal to do the echoing for you so dlogin echo's ^Z, ^C, and ^Y and ^Z, ^C, and ^Y as per the CTERM spec. This may get fixed in a future release. > 2.

If you mean command line recall and editing doesn't work, then those are a known problems in dlogin. A patched version of dlogin which corrects those problems has been made available to the various CSCs. > All of this is while using VT300 mode,7-bit controls.

Get the fixed dlogin from your CSC. -- Matt Thomas Internet: thomas@decwrl.dec.com DECnet-ULTRIX Development UUCP: ...!decwrl!thomas Digital Equipment Corporation Disclaimer: This message reflects my own Littleton, MA warped views, etc.
