Synopsis
tt_send
Usage
Void tt_send (String s);
Description
This function may be used to send a string specified by
s directly
to the terminal with no interference by the editor. One should
exercise caution when using this routine since it may interfere with
JED's screen management routines forcing one to redraw the screen.
Nevertheless, it can serve a useful purpose. For example, when run in
an XTerm window, using
tt_send ("\e[?9h");
will enable sending mouse click information to JED encoded as
keypresses.
