Can someone help me in using the keypad in Emacs running with X windows on DECStations (5000,3100 or 2100) ? I know how to define the function keys etc. but the difficulty I am having is in persuading the keyboard to send the standard vt100 sequences ( e.g. ESC O y) etc instead of the numbers on the keypad. Is there a magic string that has to be sent to the terminal that will switch it from numeric to application keypad mode? Only option I have found so far is to run the emacs in the xterm window instead of its own window but then i cannot use the mouse. Also I have observed that the mouse does not behave like the man page claims it should (e.g., the left mouse key sets the cursor rather than point and so on). Is there a fix for this? Sanjay
