| Sounds like a DECterm bug (see the DECterm conference). It's also illegal
for WPS-Plus to be doing this in the first place. Have you QARed them both?

| 150.2 | the workaround | CSSE32::MERMELL | Window Pain | Wed Feb 08 1989 11:39 | 3 |
| Workaround is to lock user features, in the General
customize menu. It's been discussed in a previous note.

| RE 150.2, you cannot lock out the auto repeat option from WPS-PLUS
using the General options menu as it is toggling the auto-repeat
disregarding this setting. As in 150.3 WPS-PLUS has been doing this
since day 1 of its inception.
I believe this is a bug against DECterm as this is non-reproducible
problem using a VT320.

| Hey Mark, was wondering if you were still around ...
Using auto-repeat on/off to control repeating character flooding
... I ran into this problem long while back when I got OUTLINE running
on a VAXstation II. Seems the VWS terminal emulator couldn't/wouldn't
emulate the auto-repeat on/off feature either. Solution I adopted
was to buffer input and do stripping of repeated input characters
myself. Got rid of the auto-repeat stuff and it has worked fine
since.
Interesting to see the "feature" propagating even across different
implementations of terminal emulation ...

1) "Lock User Features" *should* cause the sequence to be ignored,
if it doesn't then it's a DECterm bug.
2) The bug in without doubt in DECterm. I doubt it's the same bug
that UIS is plagued by, in UIS the problem was from the driver
completely reseting all of the keyboard state when *any* attribute
was changed, on a GPX the resulting ack's from the LK201 overran
the input buffer and caused dropped characters and garbage. I
*thought* that DECwindows had put the main keyboard into UP/DOWN
mode and simulated autorepeat by a driver timer and sent 'clicks'
to the LK201. The UIS VT200 emulator eventually just no-oped the
escape sequence completely, it really is a useless sequence for
a terminal emulator in any case (it should be a workstation (all
windows) wide setting).
3) WPS+ uses the sequence *improperly* as defined by DEC STD-070
regardless of how many eons it's been doing it. The sequence
is a USER PREFERENCE FEATURE (and thus can be inhibited by the
Lock User Features) and as such it is ONLY to be sent at the request
of the user and NOT as flow control.

| 150.7 | Fix for WPS-PLUS Auto-Repeat | INBLUE::BASSINNE | | Thu Feb 09 1989 18:39 | 7 |
| "Lock User Features" and setting "No Auto Repeat" enables the
WPS-PLUS editor to function properly with DECterm.
Thanks for the tip.

| 150.8 | NO Auto Repeat?? | MLCSSE::PICCICUTO | The warmer, the better! | Wed Jul 26 1989 11:28 | 7 |
| Set No Auto Repeat??
Where do set this? Customize the DECwindows term or from a
DCL command??

| Re: .8
You can turn off Auto Repeat in the Customize Keyboard dialog box in DECterm.
I'm not sure if that's necessary, though, it may be enough just to Lock
User Features in Customize General.

| 150.10 | Fixed! | MLCSSE::PICCICUTO | The warmer, the better! | Thu Jul 27 1989 09:03 | 7 |
| Yep! Thanks Bob that took care of that problem on both my VS3100
and my friend's MV II GPX, now if we can only fix 1179.0!!
Thanks again!
