[comp.os.vms] DELETE key acting like RETURN on VS 2000

paul@cernvax.UUCP (paul) (05/10/88)

Problem:
   We have had instances recently when the DELETE key on a VT200
   emulation window on a Vaxstation 2000 has behaved as a line terminator
   (RETURN). 

Diagnosis:
   It occurs after you have run $SET HOST/DTE tta2: from your vt200 window
   and then exitted back to DCL with ctrl-\ 

Solution: $SET TER/NOPASTHRU

Explanation: The set host/dte leaves the terminal in pasthru mode.

Observation: If you $SET HOST 0 first and then $SET HOST/DTE you don't
             see any problem.
