[tkined] scotty /tcl / interaction mode

hello,

I'm trying to fix a bug on a script I didn't write :)
I've done some expect and tcl scripting but this is using the scotty
extensiosn and I am very confused why it is acting doifferently than
expect.

in the expect script I connect to a host and run a program and then drop
the user off using the "interact" command. At this point the ket is that
the arrow keys work right and the escape key gets passed to certain apps
as if you had just telneted to the host.

the scotty script I have is doing the same thing..it logs into a host
successfully and drops the user off. However while most things work. Keys
like the arrow keys and escape key send the literal strings like ^[ or
^[[A and are only processed by the app when you hit the return key.
While this isn't the biggest problem it driving me crazy and would like to
know if anyone has some insite as to how to put scotty into whatever mode
is necessary to stop this behavior.

thanks for any info
