Hello,
I know exactly what you are talking about.
In vocal eyes i use a setting called curser delay.
The normal default setting is 3 and i use a setting of 70
You will most likely have a simmelar setting in your screen reader.
By the way, There is an editor called joe under linux that works like
the side kick/pascal editor under dos. I use it for all my unix editing.
It can handle any size file too.
Hope this helps,
greetings, Willenm
Hi,
I'm a relative newbie to Linux so may be covering ground that has already
been dealt with here. I don't have a linux box of my own as of yet but do
have access to a couple on the net. The problem that I'm having is that
when I'm connected to one of these via telnet, I'm finding that it's almost
impossible to accurately edit any files. I am doing this from dos, with
artic Business vision for access. I have used two terminal programs, Cutcp
telnet, and Mskermit. i have checked my local and remote terminal
settings and to the best of my knowledge, they're both correctly set to
vt100. The editor with which I have been working is Pico. The problem is
that if I arrow accross a line of text, Artic will not accurately track
the cursor. As I arrow, characters are spoken; However the last character
spoken, is usually not the last character upon which the cursor is resting.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I might get around this? I've
resorted to downloading files to my machine, editing them and then
uploading them to the linux box once again. Any help would be appreciated.
REgards,
Al

For the last 8 years or so, I have used mskermit on a P.C. as
a VT100 terminal and vi on UNIX boxes ranging from DEC Ultrix to IBM's
AIX. As long as the system knows what type of terminal one is
supposed to be, it works like a charm. Just this year, I found out
about all the neat things one can set in vi. My favorite is
:set wrapmargin=10 or 20 or whatever. The number is the number of
characters from the right hand margin that will trigger a new line of
text. the vi's I have used wrap on word breaks which is almost like a
word processor. If a word is so long that it looks like it will go
past the margin, vi just suddenly reprints it on the next line which
means that one can just type and not have to worry about the right
margin.
As for the screen reader, it is a home-grown one I wrote in
8086 assembler about 10 or 11 years ago. It can intercept interrupt
10 calls and that's how it reads incoming data if they use the BIOS
services. It works best with mskermit in VT100 emulator mode.

* printing linux files

Can anyone help me with a printing problem?
My printer apparently requires both a CR and an LF at the end of every
line, and while it may have a selectable feature to change that, I would
like to leave the printer settings alone. I use it in DOS regularly too.
When I use LPR in Linux to print a text file, say a message received in
Pine or a "print to a local file" item from Lynx, the printer malfunctions
because only an LF appears at the end of each line. I have read a lot of
documentation about LPR, PR, and the like, but find no discussion of this
end-of-line convention. Does anybody know how to tell LPR (or some other
demon (pun intended)) to please use a CR as well as an LF on each line?

The Printing-HOWTO has the information you want.
To summarize:
You need a print filter--a program that accepts your files as input
and adjusts them so your printer can understand them. If you are
running redhat, you might investigate the rhs-printfilters
package. you also might wish to have a look at a package i think is
called dj-printfilters -- on sunsite in pub/Linux/systems/printeing or
something similar.

The problem is not intrinsic to Linux or to the use of terminals... I
access my Linux box through a serial terminal connection and use VI with
no difficulty. However my serial terminal is hard wired and does not need
a telnet connection. Telix is the software on the terminal, with our
provox screen reader.
You might try occasionally entering "control L" to "repaint the screen"
and see if that gets things back into synch.
