I have several application programs (Crystalwriter and 20/20) that have their own termcaps. They have their own is = strings. They de-program my function keys. I did not find any reference on how to re-program the function keys when the application programs close. I have tried several variations if a ts = string, but it does not seem to work. Is there some way to append a program to .profile to re-program the function keys? I would appreciate any help. Thank you. Michael Kosmin

All you have to do is use the "echo" command to send the following characters to the terminal: ESC [ key_number ; string_length q string where ESC has octal value 033, key_number is one of the digits 1 through 8, string is the characters you want to associate with the function key, and string_length is the number of characters in that string. For example: echo '\033[1;5qexit\r' # store "exitCR" in PF Key #1
