OUTPUT TO TERMINAL PAGED PUT SCREEN v6 -> v7 migration
In version 7, there are some cases where PUT SCREEN will not
work as it did in version 6 due to the changes that were made
to make way for the GUI environment. These changes even
affected code that runs in character mode. One particular
case is that you cannot send control sequences via PUT SCREEN.
In version 7, the way to get around this is to avoid using
OUTPUT TO TERMINAL PAGED. You can change your code
so that you define a stream and output to "dev/tty" via that stream.
For example:
def stream tty.
output stream tty to "/dev/tty".
put stream a unformatted "~033[?5i".
