Control-X is a plain old data character to Kermit. If you type it, and
Kermit sees it, then Kermit sends it, period. The question is whether
Kermit sees it. If so, then my guess would be that it has a special meaning
to some other component of your connection: modem, terminal server, etc.
: Is IBM TopView the task manager for PC DOS 7.0?
:
TopView was an early attempt at "DOS multitasking" by IBM before Windows
took over the world. However, it uses the same APIs as Windows 2.x and 3.x
for timeslice release, so if a DOS applications is "TopView aware" it is
also "Windows aware" and vice versa, at least to the extent that it can
participate in cooperative multitasking.
We've never seen the Caldera Task Manager -- could it be that it has hooked
the keyboard interrupt and takes over Ctrl-X for its own purposes?
