We have just installed nn on our Sequent Balance 8000 running Dynix 3.0. Everything appears to work fine on networked computer with vt100 emulations, dialup with vt100, and a wyse 60 running under vt100 emulation. Unfortunately most of our users work with Wyse50 or 60 terminals. The news is displayed correctly but when the user trys to execute a command using the : nothing happens. For example, to post the user is to type ':post[rtn]'. The cursor just sits there and winks. Obvious problem is the termcap. I have spend the past 5 hours comparing a termcap that works with nn but is an abomination in vi to our termcap which has been working for several years. If the following lines are added to the termcap :ae=\EcD:as=\EcE:\ :kb=^?:kd=^N:kl=^B:kr=^F:ku=^P:\ :ke=\E~2:ks=\E~3:\ the cursor keys, home key generate various letters but don't move where I want them to go. According to the Wyse manual, these sequences manipulate the application mode of the terminal turning on and off the keypad. I have painfully eliminated the various other parts of the termcap(s) as culprits. I want to use nn but I use vi far more frequently and paid money for cursor keys 8-). Any suggestions would be appreciated. E-mail is preferred. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Harold L.
