[comp.windows.misc] HP Windows/9000 term0 help needed!

deal@kodak.UUCP (Stephen M. Deal) (11/02/89)

I am trying to get an HP shell window (wsh) under Windows/9000 to
emulate a vt100. By default it comes up as an hp2622.
After I create a window I can change the environ variables 
to be vt100 and do a tset to change the termcap but it still 
won't emulate a vt100 correctly.

Are there any vt100 term emulators written for HP Windows/9000?

Also, how can I add/modify the menu picks on the pop-up system menus?
Both X windows and Sunview use dot rc files but the docs for the HP system
seem to say I have to make function calls (e.g. wmenu_add) to "edit"
the pop-up menus.

Unfortunately I must use HP Windows instead of X so please don't
suggest that I change that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The TERM environment variable termcap are used by applications to know
what kind of terminal you have.  They don't tell terminal emulators
what terminal to act like.  The wsh command can't emulate a vt100.

The HP third party software catalog lists a vt100 emulator for
HP Windows/9000 from

Optimation, Inc.

There are no configuration files for the system menus.  You would need
to write a program that created its own menus.
