Therefore, another key (no pun > intended) question is: how do you generate ESC from the keyboard in > vt220 mode? (When in vt100 mode, ESC is generated using the ESC/F11 key). "Escape" is ^[. This is handy to know when you sit down at a strange terminal and either you can't *find* the escape key or it doesn't have one. (Another few useful keys to know are: Carriage return is ^M, Line Feed is ^J and Form Feed is ^L.) --Hal ========================================================================= Hal Heydt | "Hafnium plus Holmium is Analyst, Pacific*Bell | one-point-five, I think." 415-645-7708 | --Dr. Jane Robinson {att,bellcore,sun,ames,pyramid}!pacbell!pbhya!whh
