Well, tonight I tried to figure out how to use the MS-Kermit 3.00 Tek4010 emulation on my Olivetti M24 (like AT&T 6300). Although it didn't work very well at first, (no destructive backspacing etc...) I found that downloading MS-Kermit 3.01 helped a bit. (My host computer is a Sun Unix based.) Really the only reason why I want this is so that I can use the ATT 50 line mode instead of being stuck with 24 lines, particularly for use in Emacs. I think I need the following: 1. A termcap entry for tek4010 that works! (At least with Gnu-emacs) 2. A way to get a cursor! No matter what I do, the cursor in this mode is always absent. That makes editing hard... Can someone help me out, please? Or do I need to sign up on the Info-Kermit mailing list... (I'd be willing to move to a different terminal emulation package to get 50 lines, if there are no kermit solutions to this...) -- Bj ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brent J.

Don't use Tek mode. Use a VT??? emulation. The Tek 40??s are storage tube terminals, aren't they? They lack all the normal stuff because of the nature of storage tubes. Kermit will use 50 line mode in VT??? emulations. All you have to do is get into that mode before entering kermit, and it adjusts automagically. Or at least it does for ``normal'' systems, ie IBM clones with [EV]GA. I don't really know about your system. If your system is not ``normal'' enough, there may be a setting that will allow 50 line mode. Check the manual. -- Michael Pereckas * InterNet: m-pereckas@uiuc.edu * just another student...
