The only hitch is that the screen size is not automaticly sent over the kermit connection. You will need to tell the system running EMACS how big your screen is. Stuart makes this easy by giving you the size of the window in the title bar. The unix stty command is used to tell the system the size of the screen. stty rows n (where n is the number of lines in the terminals display) "stty size" will report what size the system thinks the screen is. Variations on BSD UNIX, ATT UNIX, and other operating systems like VMS, use different commands to set the size of the screen. -- Dan Boehlke Internet: dan@gac.edu Campus Network Manager BITNET: dan@gacvax1.bitnet Gustavus Adolphus College St. Peter, MN 56082 USA Phone: (507)931-7596

Or simply resize the (local) window AFTER you login to the remote- the number of lines will then adjust automatically.

This would work if you were using a rlogin connection or a connection over the latest version of telnet and telnetd (not normally installed on a NeXT.) But the telnet and telnetd distributed with the next and Kermit have no way to telling the remote system the size of the screen, or that the size has changed. -- Dan Boehlke Internet: dan@gac.edu Campus Network Manager BITNET: dan@gacvax1.bitnet Gustavus Adolphus College St. Peter, MN 56082 USA Phone: (507)931-7596
