I am trying to configure xterm to work as closely as possible to a real VT terminal when connected to a simulated microVAX 3900 on simh. I have this mostly working, but one thing that is annoying me is the display of characters in the xterm window when editing a file with EDIT/TPU.
When I edit a file with EDIT/EDT, the screen displays what I would expect for EDT. However, when I edit a file with EDIT/TPU, I get a lot of garage characters on the screen and it is unusable while in the editor. Pressing cntl-Z exits the editor and the screen is fine again. I have found that if I type SET TERM/NOEIGHT before using EDIT/TPU, then it works fine. The annoying thing is that if I type SET TERM/INQUIRE then it sets the terminal to EIGHTBIT mode, and this happens when I log in. I can easily change the login command procedure to set the terminal to NOEIGHTBIT when I log in, but does anyone know how to configure xterm so that is not an issue in the first place? To reiterate, this is a problem with the display of characters on the screen of the xterm window, not an issue with the mapping of keys. Cheers Peter Allan
