[comp.windows.x] 11.2 xterm cut and paste to ksh

jlo@pixel.phx.mcd.mot.com (Joe Ortiz) (05/27/89)

An xterm version 11.2 is connected over a berkley pseudo-tty to an at least
18 month old version of ksh. Paste data gets written to the pseudo-tty
and subsequently to ksh and ultimately, when xterm reads the echo data back,
the data read contains multiple versions of what was originally written, 
with command output mixed in the middle.

For example, in a here script (cat <<? ) paste the line:

	01abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz02abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

and you get:

	01abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz02abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz > 01abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz02abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

This only happens when ksh is in vi or emacs mode.

Any ideas?
