Pryor) To: info-terms@mit-mc.arpa *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR INFAMOUS LINE CHOMPER *** My terminal emulates as a Televideo 950. My terminal emulation package doesn't provide any information about escape sequences to display messages in user status line. I have discovered that ESC g displays the user line for about one second but I had no idea how to insert characters into this line. I have tried extracting this information from /etc/termcap but no luck. I need this information in order to write my little sysline code to display system status and activity per specified time interval. I would appreciate any pointers or the information. Thank you in advance for helping me out ! Happy Hacking, Paul
