A while ago there was some discussion of ^C and RTPAD (SET HOST) not working
correctly. While I havn't had any problem with ^C, I have had some problem
with ^X when going from my V3.7 system to my V4.1 system. It seems that ^X
is converted to ^U along the way somewhere. This makes using Emacs somewhat,
er, ah... amusing.
At any rate, has anybody else seen this and is there a workaround I'm missing,
or do I have to live with it until my third party people get their act together
so I can run V4.1 ?

From: *Hobbit* <AWalker@RUTGERS.ARPA> Apparently RTPAD in general has its own ideas of what control characters should look like at the other end [or rather, what they should *do* at the other end]. I wish they would rehack it to do /passall and use a proper interrupt character protocol [type it twice to send it, etc]. Being able to easily suspend a session would be nice, too. You *can* suspend a session, in sort of a kludgey way, if you spawn/nowait set host wherever, and then do WAIT n in your top-level process. When you ^Y, your top-level process will wake up again and you can tell *it* to manually suspend the RTPAD process, and it will stick around. But this is painful. _H* -------
