Whenever I connect at 9600 and try to type a message on-line, the cursor doesn't return to the beginning of line when I hit CR. It just drops down one line and to the right one character. Everything works fine at 2400. Both worked fine untill about a month ago. I didn't change any settings, at least not intentionally. Can anyone tell where how to go about fixing this? I tried asking Compuserve but they didn't seem to have a clue as to what I was asking. Thanke, Jack

Jack, that's because your terminal emulation (and everyone's for that fact) is different at 9600 than at 2400 as far as CIS is concerned. GO TERMINAL at any CIS! prompt and set up your terminal type and tell the system to default to that for connects at any speed. Your other alternative is to append a *TTY to your user_id when you log on, for example, for you that would be 71562,3372*TTY when the systems prompts you for your user_id at logon time. Don

Thanks Don. I'll give it a try. -Jack

Don – I just tried doing what you suggested. I didn't see any default setting. I already had it set to other and tried using some of the others but nothing made a difference. I then tried appending the *tty to my user_id but the system kept saying invalid id. Somewhen along the way I must have changed something else because now everything is in upper case letters. Any idea where I went wrong? -Jack

Jack, Ok, just GO TERMINAL and reset your preferences. Make sure you are setup to support both upper and lower case and the other settings are correct. Save it for all connect speeds and make the settings permanent. Then you don't need to append the *TTY (btw…it's got to be in upper case). Don
