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.
