We've just started upgrading from MS-Kermit to K95.
We use APC to send some very quick commands to alter the terminal
settings.
In MS-Kermit APC does not cause significant flicker because the
command mode screen is not preserved after entering connect mode.
In M-95 the connect mode screen is momentarily replaced by the command
mode screen.
This is ugly if all I was doing was changing the terminal settings.
Is there any way to get back the MS-Kermit behaviour?
Alternatively is there some other trick I could be using?
While on the subject of APC. Any chance one could have better control
of APC? Could we perhaps have APC strings passed as an argument to a
user-provided macro?
This would be most useful if the kermit command lanuage had something
like the bourne-shell "eval". Is there such a beast?
