Re: [TUHS] terminal - just for fun

My answers, embedded though I'm sure millions will reply. From my recollection.... aps Begin forwarded message: The 33 was capable of full-duplex so this depended upon what it was talking to (or how it was optioned). Teletype did have an OEM acoustically coupled modem on 33's (and 32's??). In the "barebones" version, they were current-loop machines (make-brake contacts to represent the 1's and 0's for the code). There was also an OEM option for RS232. When you pressed RUBOUT, the 'deleted' character was printed on the paper by the system to which the 33 was connected and removed from the butter (pointer moved backwards, etc.). I first experienced this with the CSH but maybe there were others before. I recall that there was an STTY command that would allow case to be ignored. Remember, the shell would look for a file name in a set of directories (later, $PATH) for the file name to fork/exec. I do not believe so. 32's and 33's were focused on Telex and TWX services. Hence the "HERE IS" (popular with Telex or TWX call initiations) and REPT (I can't recall its meaning but, geez, looks like a request to repeat last transmission or indicating that what follows is a repeat transmission). See above. I thought the tilde (~) was used in the C language. I remember seeing tildes as home directories in V7 or certainly in CSH. Again, my recollections... As implied before, I don't recall any intraline editing (beyond backspacing or erasing-the-last-character commands for those "glass tty's" that could support it) until CSH.
