[comp.sys.next] Control-a strangeness with kermit5A...

hsg@duke.cs.duke.edu (Henry Greenside) (05/09/91)

I am trying to use kermit5A with a Nextstation from
home, and am finding an annoying problem when trying to
type control-a (move cursor to beginning of line in
emacs). If I type a control-a, then I have to type
THREE copies of the next character before that
character is understood. To get a real control-a, I
have to type four control-a's.  This occurs in tcsh and
in emacs.

Has anyone else had a problem like this or know what
to fix?

I don't think this is a problem with kermit, I'm using kermit5a(170) right
now, logged on to a machine at the university using emacs. C-a works just
fine.

P.S. I run OS2.1 if that matters.
