Most MS-DOS programs (em4410, Terminal in Microsoft Windows, ansi.sys, Wordstar 2000) don't seem to emulate enough vt100 commands to be useful (e.g. they can't change the scrolling region, pretty well crippling Emacs). I have had better luck with Softcall, but there's still the problem that the PC interprets ^S and ^Q as flow control, again interfering with Emacs. Is there any way to get the PC to stop trapping these characters? I am also open to suggestions for better ways to do terminal emulation within DOS (e.g. can I write my own ansi.sys?). Cheers, Andy
