UNIX systems have a library of routines (collectively called "curses") for sending commands to an idealized terminal, and a database format (called "termcap", for "terminal capabilities") which contains entries for various terminal types. Each entry describes the characters to send to carry out the various commands on the actual terminal. And then there's terminfo (another database format, more flexible than termcap, but in- compatible). It would help you if you wanted to hook up your Wyse in place of another brand of terminal, but what you want (I guess) is for another terminal -- or computer -- to act like your Wyse. -- Derek
