From the FAQ: The emulation level for xterm is set via the resource decTerminalID, *e.g.*, to 220 for a VT220. Once set, applications can set the emulation level up or down within that limit. DEC's terminals are configured in much the same way by a setup option. Yup... .Xresources has "decTerminalID: vt200" but that still doesn't excuse it for misbehaving as one. ;) It also doesn't do DECDWL or DECDHL when it's set for vt200. Note that the value should be set to "220", not "vt220", nor "vt200". And I should correct myself. Leading letters are ignored in decTerminalID, so vt220 works just as well as 220. However, vt200 will probably still not create the desired result. And you need the resource class or resource name in there as well, so just a plain decTerminalID in your x resources will not work right. I'll have to stop postin shorthand for you... :-) XTerm.vt100.decTerminalID: vt200 Now change that to "vt220". :-) Johnny -- Johnny Billquist || "I'm on a bus || on a psychedelic trip email: bqt at softjar.se || Reading murder books pdp is alive! || tryin' to stay hip" - B. Idol Hello! Here's an interesting tidbit. The first time I saw a cluster of these terminals was about fifteen years previously. They were used to manage the entire line of business of the Federation Employment Guidance Service over in Manhattan. Then about the time they switched over to something other then the VAX (and this despite the fact that their kludgy billing and record keeping solution runs only on that platform.) I believed then that they first went for the Alpha and someone else worked out how to have this <Expletive Deleted!> working there. And then they were using the PC to talk to their solution and still using DECNet. Then when I started in earnest visiting the Queens Borough Public Library they were entirely DEC based complete with (you guessed it!) these terminals to do everything. Now they too are gone. It gets screwier. The New York State College of Optometry again in Manhattan is still using an entire DEC based solution for their work. I certainly hope they hired the right hobbyist to maintain their gear....... Oh and Dave please stop staring at the visiting Timelord. He's there to buy the entire island where an idiot placed an atomic energy plant.... And please stop trying to pay the Yetis who are throw snowballs at you. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
