Subject: msvgri.hlp for GRiD Compass II

System-dependent source for MS-DOS Kermit Grid Compass support in
MSUGRI.ASM, MSGGRI.ASM, and MSXGRI.ASM.  For now, must be built from
source.  MSGGRI.BAT will assemble and line the modules. Output is
MSTGRI.EXE.  MSVGRI.LNK will link the modules. Output is MSTGRI.EXE.

            Features of Kermit 2.32 for the GRiD Compass II

Tektronix emulation is now supported. As with the IBM version, the Tek
emulator is automatically entered with ESC ^L or ESC [?38h. Automatic exit is
with ESC [?38l or ^X. "DISABLE TEK" will disable automatic entry/exit.
Tektronix emulation is functionally very similar to that done for IBM. The
principal difference is that characters from the bottom of the screen are
rolled around to the top for the GRiD whereas for the IBM version, the user is
required to press a key in response to a "More" message when the bottom of the
screen is reached.

The arrow keys are used to move the graphics cursor. CODE-arrow is for faster
cursor movement.

CODE-MINUS will toggle between Tektronix and built-in ansi terminal emulation
in connect mode. Graphics and alpha screens are saved.  CODE-= clears the
screen in connect mode.

Character are now written to the screen through the BIOS rather than through
MSDOS. The keyboard is read once each eight reads of the serial port. These
changes have approximately doubled the speed in connect mode to an effective
baud rate of about 4800.

Xoff/Xon flow control now works. No characters are lost at 19200 baud.  (Flow
control is probably not needed when using the modem.)

By specifying "SET TERM 112x" or "SET TERM 113x", the user tells kermit the
size of his screen. This is essential for Tektronix emulation. (112x is the
default.)

The hangup and send break commands now work.

Note: The default escape character ^[ maps into CNTRL-= (control and = pressed
simultaneously) on the GRiD keyboard.
