In trying out 5.35 I have the vertical scoll checked and it is there but it doesnt remember history of previous screens. any help?
Also in using Informix software on a screen form using scoansi terminal I get some garage characters after entering my form and then pressing the delete key. They will go away if I use control R to redraw the screen. I am not getting this trying other terminal emulator programs. I trying to get your program to work because of the tabbing feature.

Usually, this type of thing is the result of your host program not really scrolling data off the screen. Often, screen oriented programs (such as vi, etc) appear to be scrolling data when they are really just repainting the screen over and over. There's not much I can do here unless you really believe the data is scrolling (such as catting a file from the command line which scrolls multiple pages onto the screen)

Now this I'm sure I can help you with, but I'll need two things: a logfile and a screen snapshot.
To create the logfile, choose the File->Open LOG at the beginning of a session, then create your problem onscreen and use File->CloseLOG to close the logfile.
After closing the logfile, take a screen snapshot, zip the log and the snapshot together and mail them to me. Post back here when you are done.

email sent in reference to "scrolling"
thank you
What other emulations have you tried?
netterm 5.2.0.5
<broken link removed>
and alphacom 6.0

Are you using telnet, ssh1, or ssh2?
telnet
I was hoping you'd say that. Something is screwing up the data prior to passing it to the escape sequence processor. This could only mean the telnet option processor. I'm going to have to send you a new version with some more debugging to help track this down.

I've modified absolute to provide some additional informatin in the log. Please run this and create the logfile as before and mail it to me.
Thanks for your assistance! Brian
Done. 5.39RC11 installed, run and log sent. Same problem.
Right. RC11 was not supposed to fix anything. It just gives me more information to go on. I've tracked the problem down to extra telnet protocol IAC (hex FF) characters in the data. telnet commands are supposed to come in pairs (FF followd by another byte). In the data you sent me, the FF is followed by an escape sequence so the escape character is munched as the second (albeit invalid) byte of a telnet command sequence.. I've coded a workaround that ignores the FF byte if it is not followed by a valid telnet command byte.
This should do the trick. Give it a try here:
This link to 5.39RC12 still installs as RC11
5.39RC13 seem to fix my problem. Thanks.
Will this be a version I can buy?
The version you downloaded is just a beta and will eventuall expire as all betas do. The changes, however, will make it into the next production release which will be out sometime in the next few weeks.
For now, just continue to use the beta.
