r2

Before there was marlene, there was darlene. The original darlene ran gsh under gnome (sort of like TMTerm or the GSI NDA). Later the gno/me parts were removed, telnet was added, and thus marlene.

This is a more or less complete rewrite (the original source is on ftp.gno.org).

usage:

darlene [command]

if no command is given, login -f will run. I recommend the hush shell (darlene hush) since gsh has some problems with vt100.

GSH Tips:

root> cat vt100.gsh
set term=vt100
bindkey backward-delete-char "^H"
bindkey up-history "^[[A"
bindkey down-history "^[[B"
bindkey backward-char "^[[D"
bindkey forward-char "^[[C"

root> source vt100.gsh

Explanation: your gshrc file probably sets $term to gnocon. ^H is the vt100 delete/backspace key, so it should delete (^H in the gno console is left arrow key and thus non-destructive).

the gsh actually uses the cursor key mode vt100 arrow keys internally -- ^[OA -- ^[OD. However, vt100 consoles generally default to ANSI arrow keys == ^[[A -- ^[[D. (The ks termcap would enable cursor key mode). GSH actually tries to send a ke termcap sequence at term initialization (which turns off cursor key mode) but due to a typo it sends the le sequence instead.
