I am trying to use a VT100 compatible to access our IBM mainframe, and although it does work, the only function keys the IBM recognizes are the 4 PF keys. Does anyone know of any key combinations that the IBM would recognize as PF keys 5 through 12? My terminal came with no documentation.

Yes, but: normally the "IBM to VTxx"frontend" will use the numeric keypad as the other function keys. Check to see if the keypad is set up as application and try some of them to see if they respond as the function keys 5 through 12 on the IBM terminal. The IBM software should switch the terminal into application mode, if not, you can try it manually: go into setup and switch to local mode (key 4 I think) exit setup enter: ESC = (without the spaces) got into setup and go back online Do this AFTER login (and possibly after starting a program).
