Nope... It's a VT220... Though I am dialing in with a 2400 baud modem.
FWIW, this is a V2.4 system.

| Jack,
My memory may be shot - untill V3.0 the only way to be sure a
.box directive would work was to put it in a script.
FMS?

| 1876.4 | Some stuff to check? | SANFAN::LESLIE_DA | Greetings & Solutions | Tue Dec 01 1992 16:17 | 15 |
| Hi Jack, good to hear from you again...
Verify that your modem and your terminal session are set up to match
each other's data bits (it looks like one is set for 8 bits (probably
the terminal session), and something in the loop is set to 7. You've
got to check:
1. The VAX session (through SHOW TERMINAL)
2. The modem (check with your modem software (kermit has a SHOW ALL
command)
3. Anything else that seems suspicious (;*}
Also verify that your terminal is set to advanced video (SHOW TERMINAL).
Hang in there...

| 1876.5 | Screen context confusion... | DEVIL1::CAFE3 | Jack Creamer | Tue Dec 01 1992 18:48 | 24 |

The modem and terminal setup seem to be a red herring. I've seen this
same thing happen when I'm not using a modem, so I'm gonna guess that
it has something to do with whether the last character that FMS
"painted" was a _real_ character or a line.
I am calling this from within a DO-script. In any event, my workaround
is to create a small .BOX and immediately close it and delete it before
I call my "real" box.
Now I have another problem... (Don't we all!!)
After the .BOX is closed (by .END_BOX) and deleted (by .DELETE_BOX xxx)
the screen repaints using the underlying screen image from the first
time that the box was called - not the current screen image. I guess
I need to know how to set the screen context before calling .BOX.
I've tried an assortment of CLOSE_PRIORs, CLEARs, and CLEAR FORMs.
(Hey, it was worth a shot!)
Any ideas? I'm not too proud to use a tacky workaround!!

| Since your using SCRIPT mode commands, how about .CLEAR or .REFRESH

| Also .SET_REFRESH might be useful.
