Message-ID: <1167@pbhyd.PacBell.COM> Date: 11 May 88 23:43:01 GMT Reply-To: lc@pbhyd.PacBell.COM (Larry Colton) Organization: Pacific * Bell, San Diego Lines: 27 All attempts to send mail to medin@nosc.mil have resulted in an error message from on the nosc systems, so I will post below a couple of comments on kermit382. Maybe other user can shed some light on the problems. The first appears to be a bug in the vt100 emulation in the way kermit processes TABs. Specifically, multiple tabs, without intervening text, will only move the cursor to the first tab stop. A couple of examples (^I represents a TAB and X a text entry): 0123456789012345678901234567890 ^I X^I X^I X (this works fine) ^I^I^I X (this is how kermit displays) ^I^I^I X (this is the correct display) The second sounds like it may be fixed in the beta version that Murph Sewall announced: I would like the EXit command to issue a ProDOS quit command instead of leaving me in basic. I select kermit from Prosel and would like to return there upon leaving kermit. Being basically lazy, I don't want to have to exit with EXit then type BYE. (Note to Ted Medin: please call back to the North San Diego Apple Club BBS (619/571-9010). You have mail waiting for you. I would like to determine why all my uucp mail to you errors when it gets to shark.) -- Larry Colton {att,bellcore,sun,ames,pyramid}!pacbell!lc
