Re: [U2] Unidata with AccuTerm?
Might not be related, but this is from the readme file... they changed the meaning of DEL which might have an impact on BS (?) ...that might make sense on a destructive backspace, but... I don't really recall. I wouldn't expect vt100 to have anything to do with this, but it seems you're not sure if your vt100 command is even working? -- The default code transmitted by the DELETE key in Wyse 50, Wyse 60 and Viewpoint A2 Enhanced mode was changed in AccuTerm 2000 to match the true Wyse terminal using a PC keyboard. The original Wyse keyboard (the one with 16 function keys) has two DEL keys: DEL Char/Line and DEL. The PC keyboard has only one DEL key. AccuTerm 97 programmed the DEL key to send the DEL control code (Char(127)) by default; the real Wyse terminal sends ESC:'W" or ESC:'l' instead, which is what the DEL Char/Line key would send. One of the main reasons for doing this is that System Builder resets all the keys to their default values all the time, and expects the DEL key to act like DEL Char/Line so no matter how you program the DEL key in AccuTerm, System Builder resets it and it doesnt work. Now, System Builder should work with the DEL key, but other apps may not. But, you can program the DEL key to send the DEL control code by programing ^? in the key. -- - Ron In a message dated 9/1/2004 11:31:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've been having a heck of a time at ECL on Unidata PE 6.0 with AccuTerm 2k2 - all over WinXP Pro.

RE: [U2] Unidata with AccuTerm?
Good info, thanks Colin and others. I don't see a clear solution at the moment but I'll keep looking. I have to believe "someone" is using AccuTerm with Unidata. :) Suggestions still welcome.

Tony, Maybe contact Pete S directly - he should be able to roll the answer off in no time flat!

RE: [U2] Unidata with AccuTerm?
I don't use Accuterm but if you check in the udthome/include directory there is a file udtermcap that has the terminal definitions. TERM will accept the terminal definition (see HELP TERM) but you're right - it won't display confirmation or denial. Perhaps checking this file will help you configure AccuTerm to work properly. hth Colin Alfke >-Original Message- >From: Tony Gravagno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2004 9:10 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [U2] Unidata with AccuTerm? > > >I've been having a heck of a time at ECL on Unidata PE 6.0 >with AccuTerm 2k2 >- all over WinXP Pro.

Can't speak specifically for your situation, but... I use AccuTerm 97 with SystemBuilder 5.2.4 and UniData 5.2 on AIX 5.1. This connects using either a telnet session or a direct serial connection. My terminal type is set in AIX to Wyse60 emulation (using the .profile command "export TERM=wy60"), and in the AccuTerm Settings for Keyboard, I have the following overrides: Keypad: Del - ^[W Left - ^F Shift Keypad: PgUp - ^T PgDn - ^B Left - ^V Right- ^N Down - ^O Don't know if any of this will help or not... --Tom Pellitieri --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Unidata with AccuTerm?
I'm no Wintegrate person, so I can't say what's happening there, but I have seen terminal types send an ASCII 127 (DEL) for a BS. To the terminal it looks perfectly normal but to the command interpreter it's totally whacked.
