Can anyone tell me why I should be having trouble doing an ascii
upload into the EDT editor on a VAX/VMS system (using MS-Kermit
3.14)?
Here's what happens. With a normal DOS text file (end of line =
CR/LF), when I TRANSMIT the file, each line shows the character "M"
at the end, but the next line continues on the same line -- i.e.,
neither a CR nor an LF registers on the screen. After the first few
lines, the transmission stops at each "M" and I have to hit enter
for the transmission to continue. When the transmission is finished,
I can return to CONNECT mode and hit ^R (screen refresh) and the message
is there, all formatted properly, with no difference between the lines
at the beginning, where I didn't have to hit enter, and those further
down, where I did.
This is all with the stock SET TRANSMIT settings. I've also played
with those. I've tried sending LF, with no visible effect. Once
I set the pause to 1000 milliseconds, and apparently froze Kermit
(I never got the command line prompt back).
If I TRANSMIT into the standard VMS mail editor (send/noedit), the
message displays properly and I don't have to hit enter on each line.
The VMS terminal is set to VT100 (and I've tried VT100, VT102, VT220,
and VT320 in Kermit with no differences). But using the standard
editor isn't an option because it allows only very short messages
(512 bytes?).
Also, I haven't had this problem with any of several other programs
I've used to contact this system over the years.
Any ideas?
