So when I log in, I cat the file below (with "" replaced by real ESCapes, of course) to the terminal. But it doesn't work. The last line (I've tried various forms) does things other than what's described in the manual. Previously it just caused the terminal to eat several following characters - the first prompt - in various ways, sometimes completely, sometimes framing error(?) blots, sometimes outputting high-order bit on characters. Recently it has put the terminal back into EM100 mode. (I have to assume I've changed something in the meantime, but I don't know what. I edit the file regularly trying things.) Could someone look at the last line and tell me why it doesn't work? I have tried it on 2 terminals (and on a 700/92 the line is just ignored as it should be). I guess an "it works for me" would be OK too... This is being used on an 840 running hp-ux 3.1 . But I don't think that's relevant because I've Y watched the actual characters coming out, and they're what I expect.
