    Posted: April 04 2012 at 4:01am
I have installed the Rocket personal edition of Universe and the terminal emulator AccuTerm on a laptop under windows7.
When I run an accuterm session it picks up Universe accounts OK and accepts TCL commands (LIST, BASIC etc) but does not format the screens as generated by BASIC programs - just a prints a string of the data I am trying to display interspersed with control characters. Also keys such as delete, pg up, pg down do not work; they also just get control chrs displayed on the screen. Anything I can do to get terminal emulation working fully? I've tried different terminal types (WY60, VT100 etc).

Hi Ares -

It sounds like the terminal type on UV does not match the terminal type you have selected in AccuTerm. Once the two are set to the same type, the screens should look fine. Also, if your BASIC programs have explicit control codes and escape sequences to control the terminal instead of using the @() functions provided by UV, you will need to use the terminal type that corresponds to the codes in your program and set UV and AccuTerm to that terminal type.

Thanks,

Pete

This is a capture of the contents of the accuterm screen showing a trivial program which should print HELLO in the middle of a blank screen but just prints without formatting. The accuterm terminal on the bar at the bottom of the screen says terminal Wyse60; tools>settings>terminal says wyse60.

wyse60
>ED HB TP1
3 lines long.

----: P
0001: PRINT @(-1):
0002: CRT @(20,10):"HELLO";
0003: END
Bottom at line 3.
----: EX
>RUN HB TP1

HELLO
>TERM

I have just reset terminal type to VT100 on both UV and accuterm and screen layout now works OK. I'll settle for that. Maybe its the first time I've got terminal specs in line with a suitable terminal. (wyse60 still does not work but no matter).  Thanks for the help.

Hi Ares -

If it works with VT100 but not Wyse60 I think the Wyse60 terminal definition on UV is bad. There used to be instructions on how to recompile the UV terminal definitions in the UV docs somewhere. Perhaps that would help if you want to switch back to Wyse.

Thanks,

Pete
