254.0. "ALL-IN-1 in DECterm in DECstation" by FORTSC::MOK () Tue Mar 17 1992 02:47

    I am trying to set up a DECterm off from a DECstation (RISC/Ultrix)
    console to allow me to dlogin to a VMS host to do All-in-1.  Turns out
    the function keys does not work properly, even the "Prev" and "Next"
    keys do not work right.  Forget F10 or Gold-L or Gold-F etc.  I checked
    all the terminal settings under "Customize" pulldown of the DECterm and
    those are identical as far as I can tell to a normal VT terminal that
    All-in-1 has no problem running in.  I also have problems when the text
    is wider than 80 columns, everthing just got messed up.  What else can 
    be the problem?  Have anyone tried to do the same thing or has any 
    suggestion? 
    
    Any help will be greatly, greatly appreciated!!!  I do not really know
    if this is the right forum to ask, and I am going to cross-post this to
    TERMINALS and ULTRIX conferences.  Please let me know if I should post
    it somewhere else too.
    
    Thanks in advance!!!

254.1	Sorry no can help shame about the spelling	GIDDAY::SETHI	Man from Downunder	`Tue Mar 17 1992 03:01`	11
	Hi Charles, Someone is going to get upset with the spelling of a wonderful product call ALL-IN-1 this is trademark and should be spelt correctly. I am sorry I do not have an answer for you maybe someone else will help you if you spell ALL-IN-1 like this and not All-in-1. Good luck and post the solution here if you don't get one from us. Sunil
254.2	A couple of poor shots into the dark	BUFFER::VICKERS	Winners take action not keep score	`Tue Mar 17 1992 04:16`	15
	I suspect that you'll get a better answer in the ULTRIX conference but, hopefully, someone here can give a better idea than you have so far. It sounds like the DECterm is no honoring application keypad mode. Try pulling down the Customize pull down and invoking General to see if the button next to Application Keypad is on. If not, you might wish to click on it and see what happens. I suspect that it will have no effect but you might want to try doing a CTRL/W in ALL-IN-1 to see if, per chance, the screen refresh will cause the problem to go away. Hang in there and watch those pesky (admittedly stupid like me :') trademarks, don
254.3	Just a guess...	SANFAN::LESLIE_DA	Greetings & Solutions	`Tue Mar 17 1992 05:01`	9
	I'll probably show my ignorance of not working on a VAXstation with this but here goes... I believe I remember creating a DECterm window and having to specify the type of window to create. This sounds like you've got a VT100 DECterm session. get oa$shot_in_the_dark = 1 Dan
254.4	Lock User Features?	IOSG::PYE	Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice	`Tue Mar 17 1992 10:24`	7
	I don't know how applicable this is on the U* system, but from Motif on VMS setting application keypad and Lock User features helps. Also if there's an equivalent to the VMS command $SET TERM/NOREGIS then that stops colours being messed up too. Graham
254.5	dxterm or xterm?	IOSG::TALLETT	Mit Schuh bish hi	`Tue Mar 17 1992 10:55`	9
	Hi there! Are you sure this is a DECterm? Sounds a bit like xterm which is prevalent on U*x systems. You need DECterm (dxterm) for application keypad mode I think. Regards, Paul
254.6	DECterm has problems with ESC sequences	SUOSW3::HAMANN		`Thu Apr 30 1992 08:29`	10
	Hi, this is a problem with DECterm, not with ALL-IN-1. There are other programs that do not work with DECterm. One source of problem is reading escape sequences from programs, that read escape sequences as a whole. They fail, because the ESC terminates the read. Klaus

	Hi, I have also seen a problem where the arrow keys do not seem to work correctly when filling in forms e.g. GOLD G and arrow down to fill in next form. This is due to a bug in dlogin, and there is a patch available from the CSC for this. Julie
