Datastorm

Help!!!!

My daughter Lisa A. Ebeling is a student at the University of Oregon.
 Recently one of her teachers told her that she would have to get an E-mail
account on Gladstone for class work.  Knowing that at some point she would be
using BBS I bought her what I believed to be the best software to use for
BBS’s (Procomm for Windows 2.0) and now much to my dismay I am unable to get
Procomm to work with Gladstone/Pine system 3.9.  The problem is that Pine
system hi-lights items and when Hi-lighted they can not be read.  The Pine
System 3.9 comes from The Pine Development Team at the University of
Washington, Seattle, WA  at world-wide email at 
[email-masked]

several of my daughters class mates and Lisa would like to use her computer
to log on to Gladstone/Pine system but with these hi-lighted items not being
readable they are going over to the computer lab across the campus.  I would
like to get this problem fixed for Lisa and show her class mates that Procomm
really is the finest package you can buy for data comm.

I have tried changeing, types, colors, and etc todate.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance

Sounds like you have a terminal emulation problem.  Most of these unix
boxes support vt100 or vt220 terminal emulation which PineMail does not
have a problem with.  You would probably set Procomm to use vt100 or
vt220.  The host machine should prompt Lisa for a terminal type when she
logs on.  Hope this helps.
