All the terminal emulation >programs I've tried, however, trap characters, such as control-s, which >emacs needs to receive. VT-PRO sends the control-s fine. I use it with emacs all of the time. I did have trouble with the 'rlogin' communication stripping some of the necessary control characters on the U#!x end. (control-z if memory serves) A unix type person did some voo-do to fix that problem. Speaking of VT Pro / emacs... I am running VT PRo 1.x . It is very nice and stable, however it does one or two irratating things. -does not make full use of my extended keyboard. I could live without the function keys but I want the keypad to work like a Vt100 keypad. (some of the keys work, some dont) (by the way it works correctly with a standard Mac+ keyboard) -doesn't play nicely under multifinder. I cant move the tek graphics window out of the way of whatever might be behind it. -can't set the kermit packet size higher than 90 -can't save the tek graphics at better that 72dpi -pretty lousy macro system -cant adjust the size of the stream buffer my question is, have any of these things been fixed. Should I upgrade. What other improvements would I see? By the way I do need the tek emulation (rules out all competition i think) also, is there any way to do _kermit_ transfers in the background. (my unix doesn't do xmodem, dont ask me why..) -thanks in advance for any insight -- -george @sol1.lrsm.upenn.edu
