I mean, can the console receive from an application an mc4/mc5 sequence as defined in a terminfo entry and print what was sent in between? If so is there any way to configure the device to which the data would be sent? I hope I do not abuse this list by posting this question here, but I couldn't find any information anywhere else. If I can't print through the console, would anybody have any experience about configuring an xterm (which can print, I tested it) to use a cp437 (IBM) encoding? I've always managed to find everything myself, but I'm running short on time and this is the last problem before installing linux in 50 to 100 stores, so I could use a little help :-) Nicolas Cadou
