Wordperfect 5.0 seems to lose the ability to interpret the keyboard after
displaying a directory (F5). The graphics work fine, though.
Does anyone know the parameters to let dos under vp/ix talk to a network
card? (I want to run as a client on an "old-style" starlan net and the
unix software only supports "new-style starlan).
Also, is there any real documentation on using the virtual terminals?
It seems pretty silly to have to start a dos session just to get access
to them. I've been playing with a script that starts shells connected
to several of them. It seems to work to just:
STTY=`stty -g`
(stty $STTY; ksh -i) </dev/vt01 >/dev/vt01 2>/dev/vt02 &
..repeat for several vtnn's
except that I end up connected to the last vt session that is created
instead of returning to the one where the script started. After doing
this I can use the alt-prtscrn <Fn> to jump to session n and things
seem to work right although there is no utmp entry for the virtual
sessions.
