I have Kermit v2.1.3 and have notice that when using the ibm3151
emulation that when trying to send an ESC X where X is any capital
letter, that what gets transmitted is actually the lowercase of the
same letter.
I was trying to map the Gray Delete key to send \{27}\{81} i.e.
(ESCQ) which is what a host is expecting to see for DEL as opposed to
the Kermit default of \{127}. When sending ESCQ what actually gets
sent on the wire is ESCq with any single letter coming after the ESC
getting translated to lowercase.
Any ideas why the case conversion occurs? other emulations I tried
seem to be fine, but not ibm3151. This occurs with any simple
uppercase ESC X call thought other more complex calls are fine. An
attempt to send ESCQQ which transmits as ESCQQ so my workaround right
now is to map the del to use an artificially complex sequence by adding
offsetting right and left cursor moves to get it to work.
set term key ibm3151 /literal \4398 \{27}\{81}\krtarr\klfarr
Hope this helps someone and perhaps the reason for this can be
discovered and or fixed should another release of Kermit be issued.
Hope this helps someone. anyone have any ideas why it happens tho?
Have a GREAT day!
