MCSG outputs junk on screen

[Darius Shafie]

Im using Cygwin X-window to telnet to my HPUX system. I run sam and go to the Clusterin option and then to configure a new cluster. Once I choose to configure the a new cluster the screen gets filled with junk. The same thing happens if connect with a null modem cable to the console serial port on the HPUX system and use Hyperterminal to make a connection.

I have attached a screen shot of the Cygwin garbled screen.

This makes configuring a cluster impossible with a telnet or hyperterminal session.

Has anyone seen this and been able to correct it?

Thanks.

You got the term type set wrong.. It must be correct for sam items to work properly. Do you have xwindows capability since sam and the SG plugin work in X too.

This feature of Sg embedded in sam is obsolete. You must be using a early version of SG.

Many text-based full-screen programs (like sam in TUI mode) have a keystroke that makes the program fully re-write the screen content to erase garbles like that. Usually that keystroke is either Control-L or Control-R.

I think one of those keystrokes works with sam, but at the moment I don't remember which one it was.

ctrl-l clears up the screen.

Thanks.
