Thanks to some help from the net, I used a RAW: console rather than a CON: console for an application where I did not want input characters echoed to the screen. I send an ACTION_SCREEN_MODE packet to the CLI console to switch the CLI to RAW: mode upon startup, and CON: mode before I exit. Everything works great. The thing is, that it turns out that all this stuff to do with sending packets seems a little complex to me. Is there perhaps a simpler way to do this? Is there a magic escape sequence I can send a CON: window that will switch it to a RAW: window and vice versa? Also where is the ACTION_SCREEN_MODE packet documented in the RKMs? All I could find was the reference to it in libraries/dosextens.h, which was not particularly informative... (I got the info I have on it from a fish disk.) -- | ben@epmooch.UUCP (Ben Mesander) | "Cash is more important than | | ben%servalan.UUCP@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu | your mother." - Al Shugart, | | !chinet!uokmax!servalan!epmooch!ben | CEO, Seagate Technologies |
