[comp.os.cpm] Kaypro VT100 emulation

marwood@DMC-CRC.ARPA (G. J. Marwood) (05/27/88)

 
Regarding Mike Ciaraldi's query about VT100 emulation for the Kaypro 2, and 
MexPack, the MexPlus manual states that the VT100 emulator supports a keypad
in numeric mode only, not alternate mode.
 
There is also a Kaypro VT100 emulator (VT100KAY.LBR) in SIMTEL20 archives 
and in GEnie Library #20.  I don't know what sort of Kaypro this supports.

I believe Mex's overlay supports function keys and probably will support the
function keys in application mode if you can redefine them on the Kaypro
before running Mex.  I redefined them on my Zorba using the Zorba's bios
redefinition functions and setup program and they worked fine with EDT.  Of 
course the keys did not have their definitions swapped by the escape code to put
them in application mode, but since they were there already it worked fine.
