Problem with cu

[Gary Lewin]

I have run into a problem with cu which someone may be able solve.

When connected to another computer with cu, the command "~>file_name"
should divert the screen input to a file.  This is according to the manual
and past experience with other UN*X systems.

However, the divert command does not work on our XEN*X system, which is
a 286, SCO Release level 2.2.3.  When invoked, all that happens is an
error message saying "Use '~~' to start line with '~'".

I have UN*X experience and am used to the syntax of the cu divert command.
Even so, I am either missing something syntactically, or there is a
problem with cu.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what I am doing wrong or what may 
be causing the problem?

Any help is appreciated !!!
