I was trying to start ADVENT again on my PDP-8, this time all with my
Teleray 3511D terminal for a change (often I use minicom). I found that I
could not escape to start the program. Instead, a '[' is printed, which is
character code 133 octal. Escape is 033 octal. On minicom, things work just
fine hitting the escape key on my keyboard.
Is my terminal acting up? Is ALTMODE not defined as 033 on this terminal?
Something else?
If it's not acting up, any ideas how I can send a 033 from the terminal?
Thanks,
Kyle
