I want SMG to be able to do the following: Be inputting text with SMG$READ_COMPOSED_LINE (i.e., no terminator typed yet), receive a broadcast, put it in another display, and continue inputting on the current line; that line repainted as necessary. At present, I notice that the control T (for instance) is processed only when a terminator is finally typed into the SMG$READ_COMPOSED_LINE. This seems very weird to me. I don't want to read keystrokes, as I want to take advantage of the recall buffer, etc., with SMG$READ_COMPOSED_ LINE. How do I do it? And another thing. The VT200 line-editing keys don't seem to work with SMG$READ_COMPOSED_LINE; only the control versions. norman@husc7.harvard.edu
