Lines: 30 I just bought Crosstalk and have been having some problems with the vt100 emulator: VAX (UNIX) 1. When quitting more, the entire screen backround would turn cyan. 2. If a line extended off the right, all characters past column 80 would just overstrike in column 80 (no wraparound). IBM (VMS) 3. Sometimes when refreshing the screen, the new screen would fill with graphics characters (not filtered by INfilter). To solve problem 1, I created a new termcap file for "xt100" containing: :so=2\E[1m:tc=vt100: (by changing from 7m to 1m (highlight) the rest of the screen is not affected) To solve problem 2, I first tried removing am (auto margin) from the termcap file, but that didn't help. So, I created a file to send the ANSI control for wraparound back to the TIPC, and put the line cat reset in my .login file. Type the following (ESC is the key not the string): cat > reset ESC[?7h ^D you can also add: ESC[2J to clear the screen when you first logon (see ch 9 of MS-DOS for more) I haven't found a convenient solution for problem 3, but, it's a rare occurence.
