Re: Sending escape codes to an Hp4050

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Len, in a former life I did some of this. Did the twinax card do any 
translation of control codes, like the escape character? I worked at a 
place that did this through a Decision Data terminal. We used a 2-character 
sequence that got converted to x1B. When we went to network-attached 
printers, we could not do that. Instead we defined a translation table in 
the WSCST that converted a rarely-used character to the escape code. I 
think you might be choking on the escape character.
