Using SAIL from ITS as a display
You can use DM simulator mode to moderate success, but to
completely win, instead of doing :TELNET or :TN, use :SAIL or :SA
(or SAIL↑K or SA↑K).
Running either SA or SAIL will get you a TELNET with not only the
Datamedia display protocol set up, but also will set up bucky bit
mode and tell SAIL you are a simulmedia. In this mode, the Knight
keyboard will appear as a funny SAIL keyboard, with the following
changes: [NOTE α means CONTROL and β means META as usual]
To get [CALL] you must type β[CALL].
To get α[CALL] you must type αβ[CALL].
To get [ESCAPE] you must type β[ESCAPE]. [BREAK] does not need metizing.
To get alternate holding and unholding you use β[BACK NEXT] instead
of α[CLEAR] and α[BREAK]. If people request I will make these do
the toggle function too.
β[FORM] is the TELNET command escape; to input β[FORM] you must do
it twice. A complete list of commands is displayed by the `H'
command; the only really useful ones are:
I change the command escape character (INTERCEPT)
Q close connection and kill the TELNET (QUIT)
