I have a problem with Telix; it occurs with both version 3.12 and 3.15. When I use Alt-L to capture a file, or look at the scrollback buffer, all tabs (^I) have been stripped. I noticed that Telix strips VT100 control characters too, which is fine, but I need those tabs! (Just try reading an ls -C without them) My translate table shows no translations. Anybody have a fix? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Randy Spangler | Get your mind out of the gutter | | rspangle@jarthur.claremont.edu | you're blocking my periscope | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try going in with tty mode instead of VT100, unless you REALLY need VT100 for those special sessions. -- halcyon!ralphs@seattleu.edu The 23:00 News and Mail Service - +1 206 292 9048 - Seattle, WA USA +++ A Waffle Iron, Model 1.64 +++

Well, not a fix, but a better-than-nothing on the Unix end: stty -tabs This will slow down display time a bit, especially at slow baud rates, but the scroll-back is legible. -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | David Sewell, English Dep't, University of Rochester, New York USA | | dsew@cc.rochester.edu || dsew%cc.rochester.edu@uorvm.BITNET | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

I don't know of a way to fix the scrollback problem, but you can try
using an ASCII receive (PgDn A) rather than a capture (Alt-L) to grab
the session; this preserves all control and escape sequences, while
Alt-L removes them.
