AIX'ers,
I'm running AIX 5.3 on a P5-550 machine and AIX 4.3.3 on an F50.
For some reason any PC software running the vt100 terminal
emulation handles the BACKSPACE and DELETE keys differently
at AIX 5.3 than AIX 4.3.3.
At AIX 4.3.3 the backspace erases the character completely from the =
screen
as the cursor moves backwards.
At AIX 5.3 the backspace moves the cursor back but leaves the =
character.
Note: the character is actually erases but still shows.
At AIX 4.3.3 the delete key erases all characters back to the AIX =
prompt.
At AIX 5.3 the delete key shows the character "=A7" and does not clear =
the
characters back to the prompt. Note: The line is actually =
deleted/cleared
even though the cursor doesn't move back to the AIX prompt.
Does anyone have a good source file (i.e. dec.ti file) that works like =
the
AIX 4.3.3 vt100-am at AIX 5.3 that I could try to use?
Thanks,
Denny Watkins
