We have several networks of HP 9000 series 300 machines that are running mwm. we are trying to put together a terminal window to emulate a VT100 or similar terminal in order to access DEC Vaxes and others over a serial port. The problem I have been having is in the emulation that xterm provides. DEC uses different key sequences such as swappingng back-space and delete and as a result, we are having trouble getting a full emulation of the DEC terminal. We tried using xmodmap to swap key definitions, ie make the backspace key perform the delete function, but this affect ALL X clients which is unacceptable. Is there a fix for xterm or some other emulator available that will give us the functionality we desire. We willl be accessing many different types of systems and therefore need the terminal end to provide the compatibility. Any suggestions or pointers to sources would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, M.

I had the same problem rloging into a Sun, but the problem was that mwm
would put up a menu when I hit <Shift><Del>. The fix I found was to
change the .mwmrc file so that <Shift><Del> was NOT mapped to f.menu.
(yes I know that this may change the definition of the Motif look and
feel, so flame away ;-)
Hope this helps
Joe

Can't you just issue the VMS equivlent of stty erase \^h? I'm always being told that you can do anythng in VMS that you can do under UN*X.

There is no equivalent to stty erase on VMS. The solution I chose was to map the backspace key to delete, and then use stty erase '^?' for all xterm windows. The only x client I have found which has a problem with this is ME10 from HP. -jem -- JEMilburn@lbl.gov ...!ucbvax!lbl.gov!JEMilburn "I don't sing, I don't dance, and I don't like people who do." -Leterman
