Can anyone out there tell me how to program the function
keys on an HP2621P terminal? Contact me at ..!ihuxs!hartwig.

                            Thanx,
                            Max Hartwig

Apparently, the function keys are not programmable. However,
it has been pointed out that shells could be written with
the escape sequences(generated by the function keys) as the
shell-names. This seems rather precarious(?) to me. I have
received many 'letters' with suggestions, programs, shells,
etc. etc. Thanx for trying to help anyway.

Meanwhile, I am trying to figure out why those particular
functions are there anyway. All they do to me is lock up
the terminal until a complete terminal reset is executed.
(real handy!!!)

If anybody discovers a marvelous new escape sequence for these
'dinosaurs', please let me know. Also, good luck to all the
other victims who sent me mail.
