ITSTV.MRC[UP,DOC]:


    Using SAIL from ITS as a display

 You can use DM simulator mode to moderate success, but to
 completely win, instead of doing :TELNET or :TN, use :SAIL or :SA
 (or SAIL↑K or SA↑K).
 Running either SA or SAIL will get you a TELNET with not only the
 Datamedia display protocol set up, but also will set up bucky bit
 mode and tell SAIL you are a simulmedia.  In this mode, the Knight
 keyboard will appear as a funny SAIL keyboard, with the following
 changes:  [NOTE α means CONTROL and β means META as usual]

 To get [CALL] you must type β[CALL].
 To get α[CALL] you must type αβ[CALL].
 To get [ESCAPE] you must type β[ESCAPE].  [BREAK] does not need metizing.
 To get alternate holding and unholding you use β[BACK NEXT] instead
  of α[CLEAR] and α[BREAK].  If people request I will make these do
  the toggle function too.
 β[FORM] is the TELNET command escape; to input β[FORM] you must do
  it twice.  A complete list of commands is displayed by the `H'
  command; the only really useful ones are:

 I  change the command escape character (INTERCEPT)
 Q  close connection and kill the TELNET (QUIT)

TELSUP and SUPDUP do special things when JNAME is SAIL.
