Hi There

I need some help with the following situation if it is at all possible. We
are using the Progress Database with MFG and QAD. We have a Java based
Telnet emulator PASSPORT WEB TO HOST by the Zephyr Corp and I am looking at
a way to get this working with gnu screen. I am not sure where to start but
the current problem is that the output characters for the border of the
character based menu does not display as it should using screen. I have some
screen dumps in jpg format but i am not sure if this can be posted to the
mailing list.

I do know the following:
1.) PASSPORT to WEB does not have support for UTF-8
2.) The MFG/QAD/Progress code uses it's own termcap(protermcap) but within
it there does not seem to be the problem.
3.) I have tried looking for information on the web for setting to use in
.screenrc to help but to no avail.
4.) I have tried to use defutf8 off but this does not change anything on how
the characters are displayed.
5.) I have tried putty and setting the translation to UTF-8 and used
Progress with the screen displaying correctly.

What I think, if i am correct, i'm looking for is someway to change the
output of screen from UTF-8 and such encoding to possible ISO8859-1 as the
telnet terminal emulator(PASSPORT WEB to HOST) is not able to translate the
outputed screen and display correctly.

Any help in this matter would be appreciated. Any direction. If needed and
if possible i can attach the screen dumps if this would help in seeing what
I mean.

Regards
