I just recently started using Accuterm to evaluate it's suitability in our
application. I am having a problem with the keys when using the editor.
That is "ed filname itemname" The backspace key and the left arrow keys
both cause a carriage return. Possible a cr/lf but I'm not sure of that.

This is on D3/NT 7,4,1 and Wyse 50 emulation. The keyboard should be
sending a control-H as does the left arrow key.

Does anyone else have that problem or know of a solution?


Thanks
Mark

Looks in Tools-->Settings-->Keyboard-->Keypad
Thats the way you change in in Accuterm Standard.
I'm not sure about the Lite Version.

I can see that but would not have a clue what to change it to. Arruterm
works fine at TCL and in programs. The terminal configuration file agrees
with the control-H being the right thing, but what else could it be?

I need to use ed. I'm not competent on pick with any other editor...

Thanks for the response. I see where you can do that, but the anomaly
only occurs in the editor, Not at TCL or in programs.

I'm baffled...

Get to TCL in DM

Run DEFINE-TERMINAL and make sure *only* one letter is assigned
to term type W. Select the following:
4) Add Terminal To Selected Definitions
Then enter the *text* name of the terminal.

Then at TCL
Type: term-type w (c

Hi Mark -

In Wyse emulation, both the left arrow and backspace key send Ctrl+H,
the ASCII BS control code by default. I don't think the problem you are
having is with the code that AccuTerm sends when you press backspace.
You can check this by pressing Ctrl+H instead of pressing the backspace
key while you are in ED and see if the same thing happens. If it does,
then ED is not responding to the Ctrl+H control code correctly. One
thing to check on D3 is the setting of 'back space' in the TERM setting
- just type TERM at TCL and see if 'back space' is set to 8.

Thanks,

Thanks to everyone. I'm not sure what actually fixed it. One problem was
that NO terminal definition of W was active. Then, every time that I ran
"set-imap wy-50" the up/down arrows worked as expected, and the backspace
would work at TCL and in programs, but would break in the editor only.
Which I thought very strange.

So, I then went to the keyboards file, item wy-50 and copied it to item
wy50 and erased every line except the arrow up/down.

After that everything started working as expected everywhere. At least so
far... I knew it was something in D3, not in Accuterm, although I might
have been able to do the key translations in Accuterm a little easier
than in D3.

Thanks again to everyone.
Mark
