I am trying to write a small terminal program to connect my 128 (in 128 mode)
to a Unix machine. I have a copy of Desterm 1.02 but I want the experience
in writing my own terminal program. The problem I have is I can't get the
conversion to true Ascii right. I have the keyboard in lower case and map
the lower case letters to their Ascii equivalent and when I send out across
the modem I send the mapping. This works fine if I run the program without
being connected to the Unix system. Once I am connected I get some of the
characters no longer type in lower case and some only type in lower case.

I don't have access to a Programmer's Guide for the 128 and can't afford one
now, so I was wondering if someone could help me either with the conversion
or on how to create my own character set and put it in place.

Thanks in advance
Dave
