Is there any way to store up various message in the 'ANSWER BACK' location and retrieve it through a program instead of setting it by the LK201 keyboard? Is the VT220/VT240 manual tell us what to do? I flipped the manual over and over agin and could not get where it tells. Please help! Regards, KC Tsang

re: Note 270.0 by HKOV01::TSANG So far it appears to be only a rumor that there is a way to set the ANSWER BACK message under program control. It has been talked about, but it's definitely not in the manuals, and noone has provided proof of such an escape sequence. Sorry! PS Anyone with access to the internal microcode source should be able to tell us for sure whether or not such a thing exists. Come on guys! Either it's there or it isn't. | |||||

You should be able read the contents (_i.e._, cause the terminal
to transmit it) by sending the ASCII control character ENQ to the
terminal. The ENQ character has the same bit pattern as the
number 5 (not the character '5'); you can generate it on most
ASCII keyboards by striking the 'E' key while holding down the
CONTROL key.
