Select setup (alt s) then Terminal Options, then General options, then (a) for terminal emulation. There you can select the type of terminal and if you save the configuration, it is your default. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Bower - N4NMR Honeywell Federal Systems Inc. e-mail: uunet!hfsi!bower 7900 Westpark Drive. phone:(h) 703-435-5081 (o) 703-827-3559 McLean, VA 22102 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry maybe I wasn't more explicit in my posting but the problems is I set the dialed host to use vt100 upon login (vt102 not available) I also set the emulation to vt102 in procomm and still have problems using the editor 'vi'. The vt102 emulation doesn't seem to go well with the vt100 emulation on the host side. Thats why I wanted to know if there was a vt100 emulator for pc+ NOT that I haven't read the manual or that vt102 emulation was unkown to me. Please re-read my original posting you'll notice I did not ask how to set a general terminal emulation in pc+ but that I inquired about a vt100 emulator for pc+. Which as you know isn't completely available to pc+ by DEFAULT. -- Felix Cabral {felixc@mtgzz.att.com} "Just give me a rad AT&T Bell Labs { att!mtgzz!felixc } wave, a rad board and Middletown,NJ { (201)957-5081 } a company sick day"

The >vt102 emulation doesn't seem to go well with the vt100 emulation on the host >side. I have used pc+ vt100 emulation and found it works for the most part. You should also turn line wrap off. I think it is an emulation bug that when procomm receives the 80th character it automatically places the cursor on the next line. The curses package assumes this will not happen until the 81st character is received. The result is that long lines get screwed up in your vi display until you turn line wrap off. Without a more detailed description of what exactly "doesn't seem to go well" I can't help much more. --- John A.

I login using Procomm Plus and its vt102 emulation, and the only problem I've had in the past with vi is going in and out of insert mode would wipe out the character the cursor was on. However, I saw another posting on the subject; the key is to set the backspace character to be non-destructive, and vt102 emulation should work even though your TERM might be set to vt100, at least that's been my experience. -- Dario Alcocer | Internet: dar@nucleus.mi.org Associate Software Engineer | voice: 619-673-2161, x5119 Emerald Systems | Standard disclaimers apply.
