We have been using MacTerminal and VersaTerm 3.1 as terminal emulators
connecting to our various mainframes. Generally, these work quite well
except for the inability to emulate printer controller mode (<esc>5i and
<esc>4i). When these packages encounter these codes they seem to be
passed through and the data is printed on the screen rather than on the
printer. We'd be happy if when the <esc>5i is received a dialog box
would pop up asking for a file name to save the data to and close out
the file when the <esc>4i is received. We'd prefer that the user have
no interaction at this point.
Does anyone know of a VT100 emulator package that handles printer
controller mode properly (i.e. goes directly to the printer) or
provides a viable alternative?
Thanks
