One thing when using the terminal and if connecting to other shells on
other machines is to make sure the vt 100 imulation is chosen in a set
statement. This translates keyboard input correctly to other machines.
This has to be done in the mac terminal and on each of any other shells.
Many strange things that appear related to character input and translation
are solved by this method. One handy place to do it is in each shells
login or profile or bash_profile etc. scripts which run each time a shell
is started. These are proceeded by a period so they do not appear as a
file whin in fact they are in the home directory.
The limitation of vo in terminal is one reason I got a dos box connected to
my mac to act as a speaking terminal. This uses dos screen reading
capacity which is unexcelled by any other speech for control and power to
access text based shellsand the respective software such as in unix and
linux..
I use it also to connect to the internetvia the mac using lynx as the
browser and other unix and linux type apps and utilities.
