I've managed to figure out enough by hit or miss to get along a little, although docs would be nice (if you send them to Dick, he'll send them to me, and if you send them to me I'll send them to him). Curious. The VT100 emulation does not use inverse video to emulate the alternate character intensity (as does SOFTERM and Jim Haye's DCOM), but when our System/1 gets a character sequence it doesn't understand IT sends error messages in inverse video! The other odd thing is that the program hangs if I use auto repeat (as in holding down the "cursor down" and trying to run the cursor down the screen) or if I'm using the "type ahead" (typing while the System/1 one is displaying). I do not have that problem with Softerm or DCOM (which use polling rather than interrupts) or Dick Atlee's Kermit-2A in ADM-3A mode (which does use interrupts). I haven't tried a file transfer yet, but other than what's reported above, I haven't noted any difficulty with the screen display. What should I be looking for?
