- I recently tried using the ALT-ESC key to switch back and forth
- between PMCOMM and an os/2 full-screen session. What happens when I
- switch back to pmcomm is that pmcomm screen appears but pmcomm is not
- the active window. When I hit a CR, the screen goes BACK to the os/2
- session that I just ALT-ESC'd out of. This is very repeatable. Wierd.
- Does anyone know why this is happening?
-
- Also, the screen scroll function only works toward the right. When I
- try to scroll toward the left (beginning of line), nothing happens.
-
- Another problem (minor) is that the remote system prompt line is
- trashed after every Zmodem download.
-
- More irritating is that the download function applies the Procrustes
- function to non-FAT (i.e. not 8.3) format filenames.
- E.G. "cpp_critique.zip" becomes "cpp_crit.zip"
- and "aaaaaaaa.bbb.c" is rejected altogether.
-
- Additionally, I have great trouble synchronizing with my dataswitching
- network which requires a special sequence "@D<cr>" before it will send
- anything at all back to me. I have occasionally been able to get
- around this problem by typing an extra character in front of the "@"
- character.
-
- Otherwise the program seems to be working pretty well.
