The chances of there being any that were not found by the "test terminal" routine in Config are quite small. You can see what the sequences are by selecting the "edit definitions" entry in the Config main menu. The only possible source of an efficiency difference is if one terminal provides built-in clear-to-end-of-line, which will be a little faster than letting Mince do its own clearing by drawing spaces. -- Scott Layson 3-Apr-82 15:08:17,1245;000000000000 From: GAI@MIT-AI Date: 04/03/82 15:08:17 Re: Disabling ctrl-A and ctrl-K on Videoterm 80 col. board To: AMETHYST-USERS at MIT-AI CC: GAI at MIT-AI Now that I have a keyboard enhancer to add to my Apple cpm system I find it a great inconvenience that the Videx videoterm 80 col. board swallows ctrl-A and ctrl-K characters (especially since these are 2 of my favorite commands in Mince). I called Videx and their only suggestion was to modify my Videoterm Firmware (supposedly they are sending me the description of how to do that). This seems like the cleanest solution, but it is non-trivial for me to implement since I don't know the first thing about writing proms, but it might be fun to learn. Does anyone have a device for writing 2708 eproms that I might obtain access to (I'm in central Mass. but make trips into Boston periodically)? Is this the kind of thing you can get a dealer to do for you? What alternatives are there for solving the ctrl-A/ctrl-K problem? In CPM is there some way to separate input and output functions so that output goes to the 80 column board but input bypasses it (going directly from Keyboard enhancer to CPM)?? Any suggestions or comments greatly appreciated, Glenn 12-Apr-82 17:09:00,401;000000000000 Date: Monday, 12 Apr 1982 16:09-PST To: AMETHYST-USERS at MIT-MC Subject: Users' group info From: bridger at RAND-UNIX Message-ID: <245.387504595@RAND-UNIX> Where is archived information on mince & scribble modifications to be found?
