Again, Barry, thanks for your reply.  Several points: First is that I
do not want to rely upon any graphically oriented program to make this
work, if possible.  (Yes, I am a pain in the *** to satisfy ;-) I also
do not want to have to implement this feature in every user program I
am using.  With regard to X, (to which I really don't want to be
dependent upon) I still need to generate an interrupt somehow on the
remote system.

Using an idea like script is a thought.  The question then turns to
how script works.  Does it actually see every character at any point?
I believe it reads input based on the mode of program running
underneath it and, therefore, wouldn't generally see input character by
character.  While I suspect it could be made to do reads character by
character, I would like a little CPU left to crunch.  I plan on
looking over script closely, however, because it does look like a
possibility.

			Again, thanks for your ideas,
