However, SET TERMINAl/INQUIRE flushes the typeahead buffer when it is executed because it sends a "who are you?" sequence to the terminal and must read the response. If anything was in the typeahead queue, it would be read as a response. That would REALLY madden it. My LOGIN.COM uses this, but as soon as it is executed, I echo the terminal type that the VAX thinks I am on (like "Terminal type set to VT52"). That's when I can start typing ahead.
