-Message-Text-Follows- This occurs under AmigaDOS 1.3.2 with Conman (don't have the version number handy): I'm porting some IBM software (shudder) and I need to use the device status escape sequence (9b 36 6e) to get the current cursor position in a CLI window. I use a printf to ship the sequence out, then try using getchar's to read the message which is supposed to get dumped into my input stream -- only there's no message; getchar just sits and waits for me to type something on the keyboard. The other escape sequences seem to be okay (home the cursor, clear, etc). Is there something that I'm missing ? Is it necessary to cut beneath the stdio library and use DoIO directly ? If so, how do I find the Window ID of my CLI window ? Any suggestions would be appreciated... Regards, Art Baker
