The versabraille has no terminal emulation built in. When i use lynx or other ncurses programs, all the escape sequences appear on the vb right there mixed up with the text. It's a mess. I can read it, but I mostly use the -dump switch and read the resulting file. The vb also has some programable memory, and there is a piece of software called cp to provide vt100 emulation. But, it works very poorly. It is so bad that I much prefer to read all the escape sequences. What I would really like is to make lynx send me nothing but the text from it's webpages and no escape sequences at all, but I guess that is impossible.
