To explain a bit, what I'm looking for is a device which would interface between the terminal and the host, for an upward direction, a character would be sent for the duration of the movement (e.g. '888888' for an upward move) and corresponding characters would be sent for the other cardinal directions (diagonals could be described in terms of up, right, up, right, etc). A button would again generate it's own character.... Am I crazy for even considering the existance of such a beast? -- Michael J Pluta (mikep@lakesys.UUCP) c/o | {uwvax}!uwmcsd1!lakesys!mikep Tri-Sys Computer Corp., Inc. | {uunet}!marque!lakesys!mikep 207 East Buffalo Street, Suite 600 | "You want it today, you can have Milwaukee, WI 53202 (414) 291-7979 | it, but dont expect it tomorrow"
