A while back someone asked if there was a command to take the wyse99Gt
from Vt100 to wyse99gt mode. There is. It seems that there are several
undocumented commands in the wyse99 repator. I found these by
experimentation. If anybody knows of others I would like to hear about
them.
In Vt100 or Vt220 mode
(Esc[ = CSI)
Esc[41h Turns on 50 line mode (Uses Ctrl-Arrow keys to move through window)
Esc[41l Turns on 48 line mode (Uses Ctrl-Arrow keys to move through window)
Esc[?38h Switch to Tektronics 4014 mode (from vt100 and vt220)
Esc[?42h Switch to Wyse99gt mode (from vt100 and vt220)
Some shell functions I use go between Tek4014 and wyse99gt.
tek()
{
echo "\033~>"
TERM=4014
export TERM
}
notek()
{
echo "\033[?38l"
echo "\033[42h"
TERM=wyse99gt
export TERM
}
Here are some other interesting tidbits.
Hold down the G or the SETUP key on powerup will reset the terminal to it's
factory default configuation. The Test field in the setup screen 2 does some
interesting thing. Toggle it to ON and save the setup. The screen will go
through it's initialization procedure. While it's doing this hold down the
space bar. A series of video alignment patterens will appear. Use Ctrl-A to
toggle between patterns.
