Read the UUCP(C) manual page.  It says there that the uucp provided
with that flavor of Xenix is a V7 port.  *No* V7 uucp (that I've ever
seen) supports (2.).  To get the same effect you can try imbedding ^M's
(with vi, use ^V^M) in the expect/send strings.  I haven't tried this,
though (no need).  I never had a problem getting (1.) to work.

+---------

Tandy is aware that the -x option is broken.  It is corrected in the
(soon to be released) 3.2 development system, although the uucp is
*still* the V7 one (from the original Xenix 2.3).
