We were happy to discover that Network L lets you get more than than the default number of lines in the VT100. Now, does anyone know approximately how to get Gnu Emacs to use all of these lines? Also, for your information, the VT100-YANK patch, which lets you yank a string from the kill ring into your VT100 window, seems to keep the middle mouse button from bringing up the VT100-Telnet Command Menu. At least, we get that behavior with all of our software loaded, which software includes this patch. While we're on the subject, yanking into the VT100 window is extremely useful functionality. We strongly urge TI to support it directly as opposed to supplying it only as "public" software. The miniscule size of the patch suggests that the effort and support costs should be very low.

I haven't used the Explorer VT100 application for a while, but the following works with a vt100 emulator on a big-screen Mac: stty rows 60 Gnu emacs happily then uses 60 lines. I've used this under SUN OS and Ultrix. Why not instead use the X server on the Explorer? It's performance is pretty decent on a II Plus. Dan

Check mizar.docs.uu.se:~ftp/lispm/telnet-subnegotiations.lisp, which not only makes the VT100 frame send the window size on request, but also the terminal type and, if requested, the terminal location string.
