I'm using the Oct 11 version of Wincomm and am still having terminal emulation problems. Many of the problems seem to stem from the BS being destructive. Does anyone know have to make BS non-destructive?

It has a box in the Terminal section of the Session Editor which lets you toggle Destructive/Non- Destructive Backspace. Butch

It has serious problem with result codes. I have verified (using local mode, and setting the modem initialization manually and issuing the dial string), that no funny codes are being sent back by the modem except when then the connection is made and then I get code 14 which is the normal 9600 connect code. Even though I have set this up as the result code to expect in wincomm, it always fails immediately after dialing. Someone sent me some info about disabling all codes except for 1 which it will issue on any connection, but this doesn't work either. As far as I am concerned, this product attempts to do so much for you, that it is no longer useful. If it doesn't already support a particular modem, you are possibly SOL. I have noticed something else, the emulation (VT102) has a problem that erases characters from the screen when using emacs (UNIX system) and paranthesis matching mode. This mode moves the cursor to a matching open paran when the closing one is typed. When this action occurs, wincomm erases the characters on the screen between the parans.

There are still emulation problems, though. If the author has access to the `less' program running under UNIX, he should try going backwards in a file -- it's a real mess.
