Try recompiling vt52.c in your mgr sources, assigning a different character to the abort. I am successfully using 'me.tos' inside an mgr window with something like the following (ksh) function ... function ved() { vt52 me.tos ${1} echo '\014' } Question --- has anyone succeeded in getting mgr to recognise any of the ST cursor keys, or the HELP/UNDO keys? I have another question. With a machete, I rejigged 'zmdm' to run under mgr (removing the screen memory calls and anything else I thought might interfere with mgr), and it works, but whilst it is connected to the RS232 port, mgr/mint/kshv4 (something, somewhere in that trio) prevents me both from opening other windows (can't get a pty) and from doing anything in another already-existing window (cannot fork, try later). Could anyone hazard a guess as to whether it's something I did to the zmdm code, or whether there's something else that's biting me. I redid the whole thing as an mgr application, using mgr library calls, but I suspect that m_setup() remaps the ports 'cos I can't get any characters out of the rs232 port, I wonder if Bconstat(rs232) is actually checking the rs232 port? Bconstat(console) seems to work OK.
