One note on this discussion... There seems to be a little confusion...
If you set the terminal's permanent characteristics. e.g.
$ SET TERM/PERM/NOTYPEAHEAD TXcu:
and then reenable type-ahead from your application, with SET TERM/TYPEAHEAD
or with a QIO set mode, you don't have to worry about resetting the
characteristic. The driver automatically copies the permanent
characteristics to the current characteristics at the last $DASSIGN of
the device. In other words, when your application exits, the terminal
characteristics will reset to the permanent ones. This applies, naturally,
to settings other than type-ahead.
