My friend and I just discovered the world of 132-column mode, and we
have a few questions for all who are familiar with its numerous
wonders.
1. My friend wants to define a key to switch between the modes while
in terminal emulation mode, but we couldn't find a verb that does
this. Is using verbs the only way? Also, we'd like to know if
there's a way to define a key to escape back to command mode and
execute a Kermit command (of any kind).
2. I'm running DOS Kermit under OS/2 in a full-screen DOS session.
When I use 132-column mode, everything works fine until I switch back
to the desktop, at which time the video proceeds to get completely
screwed up. The only way to save things is to go back to Kermit and
do an Alt-X (which puts the screen back in 80 column-mode) and then go
back to the desktop (which is still screwed up) and activate a screen
saver or something to refresh the screen.
3. Also, Kermit's documentation claims that it can auto-detect the
screen width requested by the host, but doesn't seem to.
Thanks,
Andy
