Correct, the arrow keys send M100 codes. It's on the To Do list to
translate these to VT-100 codes...

Hello,
I can probably wait for the upgrade of 'import.com'. But when it comes to
moving around the screen, I assume that the m100 arrow keys send the 'usual'
code out (i.e. 1C, 1D, 1E, and 1F in hex?) and not the codes that a Vt100
terminal would send, which depends on the mode, but in VT52 mode it is ESC and
A,B,C,or D. Noticed the arrow keys on the m100 were not working as
expected.....

Hi Jonathan
IMPORT.COM is in line for upgrade, though it'll be into next year before
I get to it. By then we may have 8.3 filename support from the TPDD
emulators. I intend to upgrade IMPORT to:
- support wildcard filenames
- 8.3 filenames
- subdirectories
Happy cp/m-ing.

Hello All,
My rexcpm and mvt100 kit arrived last week. There were some hiccups getting
the software installed on the rexcpm, and I suspect part of the problem was
himem issues with the teeny.com that mcomm sends over. After a number of
super-helpful emails with Stephen, he suggested a serial transfer, which I used
for the rxcini.do file. This worked quite well. I used minicom on a linux
machine to send at 300 baud so I could watch it go into telecom with the
download feature. After that it was smooth sailing using mcomm on my phone,
and I had enough time to get out the soldering iron over the weekend, and with
the hints posted by Bert, got the MVT100 kit assembled in a morning, and in the
afternoon had a vt100 terminal emulation for CPM 2.2.Even had an ancient flat
screen vga monitor and the characters don't look that bad.
I found a copy wordstar I had configured for a vt100 (actually an xterm on an
aix machine that was running a z80/cpm emulator written in C) and got that
over, and just uploaded supercalc, and each of them has sent with 'pip' its own
user space, along with one for classic adventure.
I'll have to try and remember what the key combinations are for moving around
in wordstar and supercalc, but having this hardware is terrific.
I guess one question is whether I should move on to something else than mcomm
to emulate the TPDD. I like to group files together in subdirectories, but the
import.com in cpm wants to go the the root (ie the TPDD directory on my phone).
I've been mass moving files to the TPDD directory when I want to import them,
and then moving them back to a subdirectory when I'm done, but I was wondering
if one of the other TPDD emulators might allow me to select the directory
before starting the emulation. I'd prefer something small like my phone if
possible, maybe build something around one of the Raspberry Pi's sitting around?
Having this new environment has led me to use the M100 a lot more in the last
week. My thanks to Stephen Adolph for making the rexcpm and Philip Avery for
porting cpm to the rex environment.
