Please can someone at Apple post a detailed list of the Escape sequences supported by the A/UX 2.0 CommandShell terminal emulator? The manual page says "look at the termcap entry" and the termcap entry is very very sparse: even real vt100s support ESC [ P for character deletion.... I'm trying to adapt our local (hard-wired) editor and I really do need to know what CommandShell can and can't do. It seems to be even less capable than the normal console emulation and certainly no where near the (somewhat buggy) functionality of the "term" emulation under A/UX 1.1. Plea for the future: could we have CommandShell using the Comms Toolbox mechanism so that terminal emulations can be "plugged in" as necessary. I'd also like an escape sequence (perhaps similar to keypad mode) which turns on full keystation information, i.e. keydown and keyup for every key on the keyboard - there are problems with avoid ^S and ^Q and perhaps a few others, but this would at least let us use the full keyboard. -- William Roberts ARPA: liam@cs.qmw.ac.uk Queen Mary & Westfield College UUCP: liam@qmw-cs.UUCP Mile End Road AppleLink: UK0087 LONDON, E1 4NS, UK Tel: 071-975 5250 (Fax: 081-980 6533)
