The MDM700 series has an option byte which controls whether
control characters (not counting CR and LF, of course)
get passed through to the screen.
The default is that they are NOT passed through,
which is why your Osborne screen commands are not
working. Assuming you have the source code for
the overlay, just change the byte (it's somewhere in the
first few bytes of the program) in the source code, reassemble
and re-overlay, and you are set.
If you don't have the source, let me know and
I will tell you the byte location to patch.
