    Does anyone have an M8FNK.CMD program for MODEM840 (CPM86)?
    I would like to change the function key intercept character
    to something other than ^.  It causes problems when using
    the TOPS-20 EDIT program.

I don't have a program for you, but I do have a possible fix.  I use
MODEM7 with the normal intercept character - even though I use EMACS
here on SIMTEL20.  The trick is to look in your overlay for the option
which defines whether the intercept character preceeds a local or a
remote character.  Reverse it.  You then type the intercept character
ONLY before a local command.  This allows you to use all the control
characters with EMACS.  Type the intercept character twice to send it
out over the modem.
