I am trying to figure out how to use HP-BASIC/UX (rmb) from non-HP X-servers. There are lots of HPUX's running in the labs. We also have non-HP UNIX's and X-terminals on the desks. Most of my colleagues want to use HP-BASIC at their desks as well as in their labs. (Quite reasonable, isn't it.) I have tried font aliasing. (The list appended at the end of the article). There might be better aliasings. Anyway it works. I can see the HP-BASIC's window on non-HP X-servers such as NCD, XNeXT. I can even click buttons such as "EDIT", "LIST" on the bottom line. But I can type nothing right. KEYS MAP COMPLETELY WRONG. When I hit 'q', '5' appears. Mapping is something like: Q->5, W->4, E->3, R->2, A->Y, S->T, D->R, F->E, G->W, H->7, ..... Does anyone know why this happens and how to straighten out the key mapping ? Please teach me. HP's telephone response center in Japan says, "No way you can use HP-Basic from non-HP X-server ! Buy HP." Come on ! Is it another manifestation of single-vendorism on multi-vendor protocols ? ------------------------------- Masahiro Kitagawa NTT Research Labs.
