Meridian Mail with Wyse-150

[mustang971]

Have a WY-150 terminal setup for system maintenance, however when I do the AX command it does switch over to the meridian mail, however the terminal doesnt print it out right, it's like it doesn wrap the text or something, so I can't do anything but the key to get back to terminal. It just prints the MMMMMM graphics on the same 4 or 5 lines so you cant read the screen. Anybody know whaqt setting may be wrong on my terminal? Like I said on the telephone system it works fine, also on anything else hooked up to same com port it works fine, just that terminal.

the mail uses an x20 emulation.. 320 420 or 520.. the 20 denotes that the soft keys (f) are defined via the application.. in order to make a wise work you would need to define the f keys.. i don't have that set up anymore.. my mermail is history.. i haven't really used a dumb term on the switch since black and white 286's were brand new.. even with hyper term a pc will allow you to capture and print to a real printer

Thanx John, yeah I use hyperterminal on my laptop 99% of the time however we also have terminals at some sites still.
Thanks for the tip.
