[comp.terminals] ESC key mapping on X-Term with VT keyboard

randy@aplcomm.jhuapl.edu (RANDALL SCHRICKEL ) (04/12/91)

We just got a bunch of (HDS) X-Terminals with the VT (220?) style keyboards.
No ESCape key!!! Control-[ seems to work, but that's not very nice. Can I 
map some other key (like Compose Char) to be the escape? I know I can use
xmodmap to do some things, but xmodmap -pk doesn't even show a Compose
Character key! Even if it did, I don't think I know how to map something
like "control-[" to another key. Thanx for any help.

BTW, haven't DEC-people ever heard of vi?
