Hello again! I've narrowed my search (thanks Chris!) and would like to hear
from anyone who has gotten a TeleVideo 950 dumb terminal hooked up. In
particular I need termcap entries and any special information needed for
getting the terminal to do meaningful work.
What I have so far:
A bunch of termcap entries, some of which almost work, i.e., I can log in
and see text on the screen, and run programs.
What I don't have and would like:
1) the columns of ls are misaligned (I assume this is farther reaching than
just with that program)
2) while joe will let me move around the screen, I can't move around in the
file. It just ignores arrow key-presses that hit against the edge of the
screen.
3) Also, several keys are missing, most notably alt and pgup and pgdn.
Is there any way to emulate them?
4) Also, although the backspace key works, it doesn't erase the characters
it passes over, so if I'm in the shell and make a mistake, I have to live
with it. Even typing over characters I've 'deleted' won't have any effect.
This problem is related to the problem with the cursor being able to
actually roam all over the screen using the arrow keys.
I'm not sure what other problems lurk beyond these ones. Will someone with
experience with this TeleVideo 950's _please_ give me a hand?
