Sorry to say, the answer is probably a bus mouse. "Polling" the serial port on a timesharing system just isn't smooth. There is a new VP/IX coming out for SVR3.2.3 which may help some. >2) Keyboard lockup when running vtlmgr and ksh (in gmacs mode). Haven't seen that on SVR3.2.x, but I haven't tested it much since ksh is not part of the base Unix system until SVR4. I use ksh in emacs mode on SVR4.0 and have not seen lockup. >3) How do you change the cursor from a flashing underscore to something > else (flashing block)? Echo "\033[1c" (escape, open-bracket, one, c) to the console. Zero sets it back to underline, 2 sets it to invisible. (Documented in display(7)) Vi and anything else that issues a "tput reset" will change it back; you could modify your terminfo for AT386 and change the initialization string. --Mike Rubin
