| Sorry for the incoherence of the last message. I'm working on an Itt extra
that is compatable with Ibm pc's. Is there any way I can at least under-
stand the escape sequences???
thanks,
JOhnny O.

| Yes - buy a Rainbow.
[Alternatively: get a copy of the DEC or ANSI escape sequence
standard and do a lot of coding.]

| Alternatively....
There are several VT100 emulators of variable merit available for everything
from PCs through to BBC Model Bs (a low end British Micro). These emulators
are of variable merit but they usually talk cursor positioning and clear
screen.
The bad news is that naturally enough, DEC make VT100s not VT100 emulators
(not strictly true - look at the VT200 series). You will therefore have to
buy some software.

| I have a rainbow that I use at work as a terminal. I can either use the
terminal emulator that's 'built-in', or use Polygon's TRM. Does anyone
know if there's an escape sequence for 'print screen' that either of these
will recognize? I'd prefer one for TRM.
thanks,
sar

| To the poor guy with the ITT, I would have thought that you'd have a manual
describing the esc sequences for your machine. If you are talking about
the sequences for VT100s then grab a vt100 manual (or send me mail if you're
hard pressed to find one of those). As far as communications go, you don't
have to pay good cash money to get a GOOD communications package. There
is a public domain package called KERMIT (which I am using right now) that
runs on a wide variety of machines. KERMIT originates from Columbia University
and is distributed to anyone who asks for the cost of the media and labor
involved in copying it. This proabably works out to about $100, but you get
SOURCES for EVERY MACHINE IT WORKS ON! Not a bad deal. If other folks have
Rainbows, kermit is available over the net. I hope some of this helps.
Have any of us answered your question?

| Re .4:
in TRM, SELECT P toggles printer hardcopy ON/OFF. Of course, you'll
have to set up your printer port in TRM, by doing
Select Addtnl-Opt and setting correct speed, printer type etc..

| The built-in terminal emulator in the Rainbow is a VT-102
emulator. The VT-102 manual contains the following sequences:
Media Copy (Auto Print On) (MC): <ESC>[?5i
Media Copy (Auto Print Off) (MC): <ESC>[?4i
Lines are printed on printer when the cursor
moves off the line.
Media Copy (Printer Controller On) (MC): <ESC>[5i
Media Copy (Printer Controller Off) (MC): <ESC>[4i
Characters go to the printer instead of the screen.
Send a <CR> before you turn this feature off.
Media Copy (Print Cursor Line) (MC): <ESC>[?1i
Prints the line containing the cursor.
Media Copy (Screen Print) (MC): <ESC>[i (or <ESC>[0i)
Prints the screen or scroll region depending on printer
extent. <ESC>[?19h for full screen. <ESC>[?19l for
scroll region.

P.S. These may work for Poly-TRM... I can't remember if they
also emulate a VT-102

| Note also that SMG (Screen Management in the RTL) now also
supports foreign terminals. Consult the V4 manual set for details.
