Re: [Freedos-user] [Spam] Backspace
Interesting idea to have an ARM based FreeDOS. I've notice a change in the Subject title for this thread. It now reads Re: [Freedos-user] *[Spam]* Backspace. I wanted to ask is someone in the thread modified the Subject text. If not it may be that my EMail service made the change. If so I'll have a major Hissy-Fit with them.

Re: [Freedos-user] [Spam] Backspace
Hi Tom, does this happen while using other software as well? Henrique Em 13/01/2013 16:56, Thomas D. Dean escreveu: I use either minicom or gtkterm to communicate with FreeDOS. Everything seems to work Ok, except I cannot use backspace or delete. Both keys do strange things. For example, when using gtkterm, backspace sends the cursor to the top left, without erasing.

I have not tried other terminal emulators - I will try tip tomorrow... I think the question was Do you see this issue in other software you access through the terminal emulator? On a PC keyboard, when you press a key, a scan code is generated indicating the position of the key that was pressed. The OS maintains a map of scan codes and what those keys are mapped to. (On DOS/Windows, the maps are code pages.) Backspace is Control-H, or ASCII 8. Del is the rubout character, or ASCII 127. (On *nix systems, this is generally mapped to ^[3~, the VT-220 Delete key escape code.) Your terminal emulator is apparently diddling these values before passing them through to FreeDOS, and you need to find out how to stop it doing so. This is a terminal emulator issue, not a FreeDOS problem. See what happens if you use xterm instead of gtkterm or minicom.

Oops, I am communicating with FD11 via a com port that is the console on the TS5700. I have not seem problems of this nature when communicating with applications on AVR processors. I used MSDOS 622 on the same machine with no problem. With FD11, I used keycode and see, from memory - I will try it again tomorrow to see the exact output from keycode. BTW, after starting keycode, escape or F1 returned me to the command prompt - I had to cycle power. scan ascii key 0 8 backspace 0 27 del -- two codes 0 126 Tom Dean -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
