From KERMIT.BWR (Sept 1993):
= INCOMPATIBILITIES BETWEEN MS-DOS KERMIT 3.13 AND EARLIER VERSIONS:
1. The TERMINALR/S macro capability is replaced by host-initiated change
of screen writing direction (details in KERMIT.UPD). As a consequence
of this, host-based WordPerfect won't be able to load your key settings
(see next section). Any other host software that sent the TERMINALR/S
sequences will also need to be converted in similar fashion. See the
APC section in KERMIT.UPD (MSKERM.UPD) for further details.
To make host-based UNIX WordPerfect work with MS-DOS Kermit 3.13, follow these
directions (courtesy of Chris Thompson at Vanderbilt University; presumably
similar steps can be followed for the VMS version):
. Go into the directory where the terminal definitions are stored (in my case
of WP 5.1 for AIX, it was /usr/wp51/shlib), and execute "wpterm" (it usually
requires you to be super-user).
. A screen containing all the terminal definitions will appear. Highlight the
current Kermit terminal definition and hit Create.
. It will ask "Model new definition after Kermit?" Answer yes.
. It will then ask for a new name for your new terminal definition. Call it
something like KERMIT313.
. At the bottom of the screen, several options will appear. Choose the option
for Terminal Control Characters. It will then bring up a screen with the
different initialization strings and their values. The first four items are
the ones that need altering (Terminal Initialization, Terminal Reset, Quick
Initialization, and Quick Reset). Just delete "[27][?34h" or "[27][?34l"
(for initialization and reset, respectively) from the string and replace it
with "[27]_take \kermit\wpunix.ini[27]\" or "[27]_set key clear[27]\",
leaving the rest of the string intact.
. Be sure to change your WPTERM environment variable if you decided to create
a definition with a different name.
