Problem

Symptoms: The separator bar for Speller is distorted when the customer presses Ctrl-F2 to spell-check a document. This only happens with Wyse 150 Plus terminals. Other terminals (by other manufacturers that use the PCTERM emulation) do not have this problem. The customer is running WP 5.1 from a Novell network v. 3.11 using these dumb terminals as access stations. They are using Netware Access 1.22 and PCTERM emulation. The problem appears on the separator bar where the first triangle (tab marker) appears and ends after the last one. Solutions: This is not a problem with WP. WP sends the ASCII 30 character as a display character for the triangle. This is apparently being interpreted by PCTERM as an escape sequence (instead of a display character). This particular escape sequence causes a Home-Cursor instruction on this terminal. This is a problem with the PCTERM emulation on these particular Wyse terminals. The PCTERM emulation is defined by Alloy. Customers experiencing this problem can contact Wyse or Alloy to see if any fix or workaround is available.
