Default AccuTerm terminal emulation - 04-04-2012 , 10:28 AM






I have installed the Rocket personal edition of Universe and the
terminal emulator AccuTerm on a laptop under windows7.
When I run an accuterm session it picks up universe accounts OK and
accepts TCL commands (LIST, BASIC etc) but does not format the screens
as generated by BASIC programs - just a prints a string of the data I
am trying to display interspersed with control characters. Also keys
such as delete, pg up, pg down do not work; they also just get control
chrs displayed on the screen. Anything I can do to get terminal
emulation working fully? I've tried different terminal types (WY60,
VT100 etc).

Do you know what emulation is currently set on the Universe port? A TERM command in D3 would display that for you. I'm not sure if Universe is the same.

Here is a capture of the contents of the screen showing a suitable program plus TERM details:

Ok what is the accuterm term type, depending on your version of accuterm
it will be icons TOOLS / SETTINGS / TERM TYPE

or just look at bottom of accuterm screen in the accuterm sys tray you should
see wyse 60

I have now reset both Universe and Accuterm to VT100 and screen layout works! Maybe its the first time I've got terminal specs in line with each otherand with a suitable terminal so I'll settle for that. (WYSE60 still doesn't wotk, but no matter). Thanks for all the help.

from tcl try

GET.TERM.TYPE
you should see
Wyse Technology 50/60 (WY60)

to change term type
SET.TERM.TYPE WY60
or
SET.TERM.TYPE and then enter ? to see available emulations
