Has anyone ever noticed this? When I log onto our university's Sun computer using Atalk III and read the news everything works fine until I resize the window or change fonts. Then the vn program on the Sun will not recognize the arrow keys on my amiga. I have to use return, j, k etc. to move the cursor around. The exact procedure I am using: 1. I log on the sun and type setenv TERM vt100 (My terminal type for Atalk II is also set to vt100.) 2. I enter vn. 3. I read the news for a while with everything working fine. 4. I use my amiga's mouse to resize the window on my amiga. 5. The vn program no longer recognizes the arrow keys on my keyboard. ??????

When you resize the window or change fonts, A-Talk III recomputes the no. of rows and no. of colums and RESETs the vt100 emulation to the initial state. Vn will no longer recognize the arrow keys, since that is not the initial VT100 state. Vn will send the appropriate sequence to put the keypad and arrow keys in the correct modes at start-up only. Most other UNIX programs (like vi, for example) will do the same. -- Marco -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Xerox sues somebody for copying?" -- David Letterman -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

If I touch ANYTHING in the ATalk-III menus, none of the function keys, PF keys, or cursors will work right anymore. I understand Doc's explanation, but is there no solution?? I've already learned not to mess with it, but sometimes it is necessary, and I find it really annoying to have to log off, make the change, then save the configuration, quit, reload, and relog on. If there is no solution, I may be changing term programs....
