How do you set the function keys? Are they even programmable? Why don't F11(ESC) F12(BS) and F13(LF) emit what they claim to? Please don't tell me to RTFM, as I don't have one. Yep, I've got those old familiar second hand blues. steve turner@uicsrd.csrd.uiuc.edu

They do, but only when the VT220 is set up to emulate a vt52. This may also be true when the terminal is set to emulate a vt100. I would have to check on that, but you can, too, just as easily. :-) -jeff Jeff Kellem INTERNET: composer@cs.bu.edu (or composer@bu.edu) UUCP: ...!harvard!bu-cs!composer

Yep, I've >got those old familiar second hand blues. Same here, but somewhere sometime, I don't know how, I found out that you can program the function keys when *shifted*. Here's an example. The following sequence makes shift-F6 and shift-F7 send "hello" and "world" respectively (replace "^[" with ESC): ^[P1;1|17/68656C6C6F;18/776F726C64^[\ The "17" is for shift-F6 and the hex that follows is the ascii for "hello". The "18" is for shift-F7 and the hex that follows is the ascii for "world". Strange terminal, it is. By the way you can also get ESC by pressing control-3 (the 3 on the top row, not the numeric keypad). In fact, try control in combination with the other number on the top row. Most do interesting things. -- Pontus Hedman rph@sq.com {uunet|utzoo}!sq!rph
