Responses to a couple of Kermit grumbles. 1. The first said in Kermit's VT320 mode ESC [ 4 h (enter Insert mode) worked only on the first line and ESC [ @ (insert single space) didn't work. Both work ok. Try this: select an unused COM port, SET LOCAL ON (to echo our own keystrokes and thus eliminate effects of the host), CONNECT and try the above commands. I suspect your host system is doing something unexpected. For example, my Unix machine adds a CR/LF after echoing my typing of ESC [ @; that's a host effect, not a Kermit bug. 2. The second said screen scrolling left his Paradise VGA screen dirty. That is obviously a Paradise problem, or one associated with perhaps a TSR filtering the Video Bios calls. There have been a few video boards with screen scrolling bugs, but TSR's are the more likely suspects. Kermit complaints (and even compliments) intended to receive attention may be sent to Info-Kermit@watsun.cc.columbia.edu where Columbia and I will surely see the material. I try to scan the NEWS groups but there will be msgs which are missed here. In a couple of weeks maintenance release v3.02 of MS-DOS Kermit will be announced. So, if there are other problems please send them to the above address or to me directly so v3.02 will be a little better. Joe D.
