Meta mode.... Message-ID: <2038@clyde.concordia.ca> Date: 30 Mar 90 02:57:30 GMT Sender: usenet@clyde.concordia.ca Reply-To: agostino@sherlock.CS.Concordia.CA (DELIGIA agostino) Distribution: na Organization: Concordia University, Montreal Quebec Lines: 21 ---------- Well, hello again everyone... I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced a little problem I'm having with Uniterm's meta-mode. When I press , I do indeed see `Meta' on the status line and I do get extended characters when pressing . I was chatting away with a friend using a vax `telephone' facility, when I decided to try the meta-mode. So I start typing extended characters and asked the friend whether he saw what I saw. Well, as it turns out, meta-mode doesn't produce the right characters! The docs say that pressing, say, k should produce the character who's ascii value is ascii(k)+128. Well, it doesn't seem to work that way: I get e with two little dots (umlaut) using k, for example, when it should be little Greek delta. So, anybody know whether it's a bug or whether I'm doing something wrong?
