I just tried to enable pseudo terminal support in GNU emacs 18.50
after about a year of doing without. Well it almost works. I have
two problems:
1. When running the terminal emulator, when a program goes into cbreak
mode (e.g. vi), I have to press each key twice to have it recognized by
the program. For exampmle, in vi to move down to the right I press jjll.
When I get out of vi into say the shell, it works fine again.
2. When in shell mode, su won't run, it just says "Sorry".
On a related note, there seems to be no xenix documentation
whatsoever on the pseudo terminals supplied with Xenix 386 2.3.2.
I have looked closely enough to know that specifying SYSV_PTYS to
GNU emacs won't work (sys/pty doesn't exist).
Does anyone have any recommendations, or hard information about
haw ptys work in xenix?
Thanks,
Neil

I just tried to enable pseudo terminal support in GNU emacs 18.50
after about a year of doing without. Well it almost works. I have
two problems:
1. When running the terminal emulator, when a program goes into cbreak
mode (e.g. vi), I have to press each key twice to have it recognized by
the program. For exampmle, in vi to move down to the right I press jjll.
When I get out of vi into say the shell, it works fine again.
2. When in shell mode, su won't run, it just says "Sorry".
On a related note, there seems to be no xenix documentation
whatsoever on the pseudo terminals supplied with Xenix 386 2.3.2.
I have looked closely enough to know that specifying SYSV_PTYS to
GNU emacs won't work (sys/pty doesn't exist).
Does anyone have any recommendations, or hard information about
haw ptys work in xenix?
