Subject: Patch to Telnet for Set a Mark?

From: [email-masked] (Robert N. Berlinger)

I'm told there is a patch to NCSA Telnet 2.6 that allows the
control-^ sequence to work (for the Set a Mark command).  Anyone
know about this or where I could find it?

Thanks.

I have the same problem w control-^.
At my university, some machines (PC's) work, some don't.  My PC, at home,
doesn't.  

The student advisors could not help.  The adm does not answer me.

You don't say, but I'll assume you're using a Mac (since the DOS version 
of Telnet is only at 2.3.07). Here's how:

Included with the NCSA Telnet distribution
(ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu:/Telnet/Mac/Telnet2.6/Telnet2.6.sit.hqx) is a file
called "U.S. - Fixed Controls". If you are using System 7 (if you aren't,
don't bother, it's near to impossible), drag this file to the System
Folder. Answer yes to the resulting dialog box. Then go to the "Keyboard"
control panel, and hit "U.S. - Fixed Controls". Now ctrl-^ will work (note
that it's ctrl-shift-6, not ctrl-6). Anyhow, have fun.

The standard workaround for this is to use ESC-ESC-^ (etc) ie to replace 
the use of control with ESC-ESC
