Hi,

I have a question regarding buffering.
I opened a dtterm and spawned a shell in it using "interact -u",
and then ran a startServer script in it.
Another startClient script is run in another window that
connects to the shell running startServer.

The server script prematurely exits at the same point all the time.
I think it might be that the interact buffer is full.
Is there anyway to prevent that from happening?

I have another question regarding the dtterm and interact -u command.
When I do the following, why is there no shell in the dtterm?
I had to spawn a shell and do a interact -u in it.

   stty raw -echo < $spawn_out(slave,name)
   regexp ".*(.)(.)" $spawn_out(slave,name) dummy c1 c2
   if {[string compare $c1 "/"] == 0} {
      set c1 "0"
   }
   set server_dtterm_pid [exec dtterm -S$c1$c2$spawn_out(slave,fd) -name
"SERVER" &]
   close -slave
   expect "\n"
   set server_dtterm_id $spawn_id

   log_user 1
   interact -u $server_dtterm_id

Thanks in advance for answering my questions,
Sun

I'm already lost.  Make your description clearer!

Normally, Interact's buffers don't fill until the system's buffers
fill.  Are you sure your processes are consuming all the data interact
is trying to send?

Yes, fix the underlying problem.

Try it first with xterm to make sure you have all the details right.
Then try it with dtterm.  (Shucks, why not use xterm in the first
place?)
