Subject: micro decision

I think I know what they are refering to.

Morrow uses his own terminal (an adm-20) with the
micro decision.  It tends to act like an adm31 with
the absolute cursor addressing reversed.

The adm-31 does an ESC = Y X to goto a position, while
morrows terminal does an ESC = X Y.

Morrow therefore has put a hack in the bios that checks for
ESC followed by '='.  It then intercepts the next two characters
and reverses them.

I suspect that this is the protential incompatibility
problem.  Worst case solution for the h19 is re-hacking
the BIOS supplied with the micro-decision.
