Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6896 (THANKS)

Why don't you send Rick a few bucks and buy access to (4)Library for a year?
In the Telcom category you find: VTEMUL.100, VTEMUL.DO1, and VTEMUL.DO2.  They
are all ASCII files so they download to your M102 easily.  Once you get them
(and named them as .DO files), save what started life as VTEMUL.DO1 and
VTEMUL.DO2 on disk or tape.  For what started life as VTEMUL.100 (say you named
it VTLDR.DO), and then go to BASIC and type:
 
NEW MERGE"VTLDR" KILL"VTLDR.DO" SAVE"VTLDR"
 
Now you've got a BASIC program called VTLDR.BA.  Save it on disk or tape.
 
When you want VT100 emulation while using TELCOM on your M102, do the
following:
 
1.  Get VTLDR.BA from disk or tape.
 
2.  Run it and it creates VT100.CO for you in accordance with your HIMEM
requirements.
 
3.  Kill VTLDR.BA because it served it's purpose -- creating VT100.CO.
 
4.  Run VT100.CO and through it enter TELCOM.
 
You can do all TELCOM stuff (Find, Call, Term, etc.) and when you go on-line
(Term) you may freely switch back and forth between no terminal emulation and
VT100 terminal emulation.
 
As I recall, the VTEMUL.DO1 and VTEMUL.DO2 files are documentation which
explain operation of VT100.CO as well as how you navigate your 40 by 8 laptop
screen to view a virtual 80 by 25 screen of a VT100 terminal.
 
So spend $12.00 on Library access for a year.  VT100.CO alone may be worth the
$12.00 and you get plenty of other useful stuff to boot Josh.  Enjoy!
