278.0. "Grabbit and VT100_DBW" by AUTHOR::MACDONALD () Tue Jan 27 1987 23:32

    Grabbit and VT100
    
    Whenever I use the Pallette program that comes with Grabbit to change
    the window colors on VT100, VT100 goes into failure mode. Can anyone
    verify this who has both Grabbit and VT100_DBW?
    
    Thanks.

278.1ME TOO!POLAR::GOSLINGThu Jan 29 1987 14:517
       Tried it last night and had the same problem.  I loaded up ANYTIME
       before the VT100 program - wonder if loading it after VT100 has
       started makes any difference?  Have to try that tonight.

278.2TRY THIS APPROACH!POLAR::GOSLINGFri Feb 06 1987 15:2221

       Tried some mucking around with ANYTIME and VT100 this morning
       (KS/WB 1.2, VT100 2.4, SHELL 2.05M).  I logged onto the system at
       work, then popped back to the SHELL window and loaded up ANYTIME.
       Then back to the VT100 window at which time I invoked the ANYTIME
       pallette and changed a couple of colours.  After clicking off the
       pallette window, I kept getting "unrecognized command" with every
       keystroke (I was at the LAT> prompt) I entered.  By the way, none
       of the keystrokes were echoed!  I then "de-installed" ANYTIME and
       my keystrokes were once again echoed and recognized.
       
       Moral - looks like you can change the default colours but must
       "blow away" ANYTIME afterwards in order not to cause a conflict
       with the VT100 program.
       
       This obviously doesn't answer the question of why there is a
       conflict, but at least allows the changing of the screen colours.
