I use White Knight to connect to a VAX running VMS. Sometimes I accidently
try to look at a "SIT" or other binary file with the type command. After
doing this the display on my mac goes kind of wild until I cancel the
command. At this point, sometimes the text that is echoed back to my
mac has changed to something bizarre.  The VAX understands this bizarre
font and carries out the command correctly and displays text correctly.
The problem does not appear to be with the VAX, because the the problem
only disappears after restarting White Knight. I'd appreciate an explanation
of what's happening here. Also, is there a way to fix the problem without
having to quit and restart White Knight?

Thanks,  Keith   Keith@ac.dal.ca
