subject: what`s the difference?

 This doesn't seem significant, but I just noticed it, and wonder
 why it happens.  Using the key defs from the regular MAC, viz,
 {:upa} {send ^[[A} {}   Up Arrow        Cursor up
 I get different responses in offline experimentation depending
 upon whether I initialize the modem at startup (by /iy, yes
 or a triggered auto), and when I initialize later with Alt-O.
 In the second case, both before and after issuing the manual
 initialization, using the arrows simply moves the cursor around
 the screen.  In the first, the arrows write their literal text
 strings to the screen ("<[A", where '<' is the Escape left-arrow).
 Why should the time of initialization make a difference?
 {:go1} {call go0} {clea} {dial} {}
 {:go_dv} {keys 9200,2D00} {shel-m0s} {clea}
 {:go2} {parm ,,,A} {noca-e}
 {:go0} {setv-e dv,DV_} {retu}
 The delay given by starting with the /:go_dv switch (it shells
 for a moment to set the border color, which DESQview doesn't do
 itself), even when not under DV, is also enough to offset the
 literalization effect of the initialization at startup.
