I'm using ProTerm 2.2 and trying to communicate with a VT-100 vax. It says in the lower right corner of the screen "Holding" and "More...". What comand keys do I hvae to use to get it to "Unhold" and finish sending the info to my computer?? I know on a computer I played with there at the Univ. it was a key marked "clear". "Clear" on the GS keyboard don't work. :) Mark [ Mark Steiger, Sysop, The Igloo 218/262-3142 300/1200/2400/9600 (HST/Dual)] ProLine.:penguin@gnh-igloo America Online: Goalie5 UUCP....:crash!gnh-igloo!penguin MCI Mail......: MSteiger Internet:penguin@gnh-igloo.cts.com ARPA....:crash!gnh-igloo!penguin@nosc.mil

The messages you describe sound a lot like IBM VM/CMS.

Mark, Forget the ProTerm emulation and go to SnowTerm (available via America Online) It is much better (using the SHR screen to implement a VT100 screen that includes real bold & underline characters,etc. It is shareware and well worth it. (Even comes with a bound softcover manual). End /plug/shameless -- Kevin S.

That usually works for me when I use the yucky VM/CMS system. -- ============================================================================== = R.

Control-y clears the screen on our system. Give that a try.
