I've been trying to set PuTTY up as a replacement for our company's current terminal emulator (TinyTerm) accessing an older version of MFG/PRO (7.4i). Right now we use a Wyse60 terminal type, but PuTTY is more of an XTerm. While I've gotten most things to work nicely, one thing that eludes me is setting up the TERMINAL output (where it writes the output to the terminal window) and having it handle the switch between 80 and 132 columns for report outputs. When I run a 132 column report, it decreases the font size like I expect but wraps the text anyway in a smaller part of the screen (like it would have enough space if knew it could go past 80 columns). Then it never really shows the report criteria page, it's just blank and the "Press space bar to continue." message is the 80 column size again.
The PGSCROLL output seems to mostly work, but when you scroll to the bottom, the whole screen blanks until you scroll back up again. Then as you scroll back up, it redisplays the lines you're scrolling through.
Does anyone have any experience with this or tips/advice to share?
