From KERMIT.BWR (Sept 1993): = INCOMPATIBILITIES BETWEEN MS-DOS KERMIT 3.13 AND EARLIER VERSIONS: 1. The TERMINALR/S macro capability is replaced by host-initiated change of screen writing direction (details in KERMIT.UPD). As a consequence of this, host-based WordPerfect won't be able to load your key settings (see next section). Any other host software that sent the TERMINALR/S sequences will also need to be converted in similar fashion. See the APC section in KERMIT.UPD (MSKERM.UPD) for further details. To make host-based UNIX WordPerfect work with MS-DOS Kermit 3.13, follow these directions (courtesy of Chris Thompson at Vanderbilt University; presumably similar steps can be followed for the VMS version): . Go into the directory where the terminal definitions are stored (in my case of WP 5.1 for AIX, it was /usr/wp51/shlib), and execute "wpterm" (it usually requires you to be super-user). . A screen containing all the terminal definitions will appear. Highlight the current Kermit terminal definition and hit Create. . It will ask "Model new definition after Kermit?" Answer yes. . It will then ask for a new name for your new terminal definition. Call it something like KERMIT313. . At the bottom of the screen, several options will appear. Choose the option for Terminal Control Characters. It will then bring up a screen with the different initialization strings and their values. The first four items are the ones that need altering (Terminal Initialization, Terminal Reset, Quick Initialization, and Quick Reset). Just delete "[27][?34h" or "[27][?34l" (for initialization and reset, respectively) from the string and replace it with "[27]_take \kermit\wpunix.ini[27]\" or "[27]_set key clear[27]\", leaving the rest of the string intact. . Be sure to change your WPTERM environment variable if you decided to create a definition with a different name.
