Re: [MiNT] Stairs effect on MiNT console

But when the same program is renamed .prg and run from XaAES (whether or not

And the culprit is... XaAES.

In k_main():
	/*
	 * console-output:
	 * if RAW Ctrl-S is not eaten by the kernel, but \n is not translated to \r\n
	 * if COOKED Ctrl-S may confuse XaAES but \n is translated to \r\n
	 *

	 *
	 */
	set_tty_mode( RAW/*COOKED*/ );

Why ??
If I use set_tty_mode(COOKED), the stairs effect disappears.

IMHO, we should always use COOKED for /dev/console.
This means "automatic translation of LF to CR+LF on output".
Or even better, maybe we could keep the default mode.

I wonder if console input is also affected.
