Forgive me for not having paid attention months ago when everyone else solved this one: Using vt100 under sr10, CNTRL-Z terminates the graphics mode in the window, and it acts like it's about to return the prompt. However, the process goes into oblivion, and I have to blast it to get rid of it. Is there a patch, or maybe I've got something configured wrong? I'm mainly still at sr9.7, so I haven't practiced much with sr10. Thanks, Scott Ferguson ferguson@erevax.bitnet Exxon Research & Engineering

I have vt100 working under sr10.1 with no problem. However, why is it
that you cant scroll up/down a vt100 window the way you can any other
window. Makes life with kermit very frustrating. Or is this a feature.
(I guess you cant scroll a real vt100 either %-(

I also believe that this is the case regardless of what your DM keydefs are. This would be consistent with the behavior you describe, i.e. a suspended process cannot be stopped (easily :-) ). Ok, I just tried it. If run in a sys5 Bourne shell or a bsd4.3 c-shell ^z does nothing and ^d terminates the vt100 process. In a com-shell it behaves exactly like you say. Given that habits are sometimes hard to break :-), if you accidentally do it again here's a more graceful recovery, 1) do a pst and then 2) 'sigp -u <uid-of-vt100> -c 12002b' (12002b is the code for fault_$continue_proc from fault.ins.*) In general, don't blast process unless you have to (I would have felt that I had to in this case too) and I always reboot the machine asap just in case. -- Gary Zaidenweber Apollo Computer Division of Hewlett Packard Company UUCP: {umix|decvax|mit-eddie}!apollo!gaz ARPA: gaz@apollo.COM

Do a "ps ax" and a "kill -CONT". :-) -- ### User Environment, Apollo Computer Inc. ### Public Access ProLine BBS ### ### {mit-eddie,yale}!apollo!nazgul ### nazgul@pro-angmar.cts.com ### ### nazgul@apollo.com ### (617) 641-3722 300/1200/2400 ### I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.

Display manager pads (transcript pads, view pads, etc.) are actually a 'view' into a disk object, and hence can be repositioned. They are not repositioned by embedded escape sequences written out, but by operations which are similar to lseek/fseek/ios_$seek. The vt100, on the other hand, is a graphic buffer which DOES respond to escape sequences in the output, but then does not respond to the repositioning. >(I guess you cant scroll a real vt100 either I did it once, when reaching for a large manual.
