3470.0. "Spurious char repeats in WPS in DECterm" by MSAM03::MIKEWARREN (SWS Dept, Malaysia) Tue Oct 16 1990 06:14

    Using VS3100, VMS 5.2, DECwindows interface. When I "SET HOST" to 
    another VMS system on the LAN and access ALL-IN-1 WPS-PLUS, I get
    spurious chars repeated as i type in, ie if i type
    
    "Whats the color of money"
    
    i get somehing like
    
    "Whhhhhaaatts theeee      collllor  ooff moneeeeyyyy"
    
    or similar. OK with EDT editor. Not sure if its a WPS-PLUS problem
    or a CTERM SET HOST problem .. 
    
    Any idea if its a known pblem, or what ?

	It's been a looong time since I've seen this one. I believe the "fix" to this is to make sure that you have the Lock User Features button in the Customize General dialogue box activated for the DECterm. As I recall, it's because of some nasty WPS-Plus behavior... - Dave

	...Nasty application behavior that isn't likely to change and should have been disabled by DECterm... it's enabling/disabling autorepeat which is causing the LK201 to lose characters due to the half duplex driver logic and a burst of characters from the mode change.

	Re: .2 That feature (setting/resetting auto repeat using an escape sequence) has been disabled in DECterm, as of VMS V5.3. -- Bob
