Re: Setting Reflection 2 window titles from VMS

I just heard back from one customer.

He is using 'Reflection for UNIX and Digital' version 11.0. What is their
current version?

He is running a simple app I wrote which calls up SMG to do a menu function.
As he scrolls over items in the menu, they appear at the far left of window
even though the menu was in a virtual display pasted on the virtual paste-
board 6 characters to the right! This works just fine with a *real* VT220
and its younger bretheren. I could hook up the VT100 (yes, a *real* VT100)
and test it here too but there aren't too many of those in use outside of
the VAXcave. ;)

To me, this is a pretty simple series of escape sequences. There shouldn't
be any reason for a piece of software calling itself a VT terminal emulation
to miss this.

Here's the image he sent me running the application that I wrote:

Another thought. In Reflection's "Setup->Terminal" option box (tabbed)
make sure the "Terminal Type" and "Emulation->Terminal ID" agree. If
you tell VMS you have a VT400-7 (from Terminal Type) but Reflection is
told to emulate something older, like a VT220, then SMG might be
sending DEC_CRT4 commands that the emulation won't recognize. If
they're set VT400-7 and VT420, then you _shouldn't_ have this problem
unless there are some raw controls being sent (as I mentioned
before.) Sorry I don't have an SMG built program here to test with.
