On my original bundled distribution of SCO Xenix 2.1.3 which came w/my NCR PC8, the CAPS lock and Numlock keys were Multiscreen specific. However, now that I have upgraded to ver 2.2.1, I have lost this feature. Is this something I can reconfigure myself, or was this an enhancement made by NCR, since they did license the XENIX? In other words: If I am on screen 3 "tty03" and wish to have caps and numlock ON, then switch to screen 7 where I am debugging a program and wish to have caps OFF, I must manually change it each time I switch screens. This was not the case before the upgrade. Before it would remember the state of the keyboard for each screen. I appologize if this sounds minor, but it is the little foxes that spoil the vine.

I really liked that feature. I sometimes feel now as if I have one shoe off and one on when negotiating these screens. Perhaps there are more of us out there who remember 2.1.3 and this feature now lost? Barton A. Fisk Voice: 318-439-5984 Barton A. Fisk & Co.
