[comp.terminals] DEC VT220 User Defined Keys

jbw@bucsb.UUCP (jbw) (03/22/89)

Dear Terminal Gurus,

How do I set User Defined Keys on a VT220?  I've read the VT220
Programmer Pocket Guide, and it's not quite obvious.  Unfortunately, I
don't have access to a VT220 Programmer's Reference Manual.  The
format given is this:

DCS Pc ; Pl | ky1/st1;ky2/st2;...kyn/stn ST
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

DCS can be done by ESC P
ST can be done by ESC \
Pc is 0, 1, or empty.
Pl is 0, 1, or empty.

The part emphasized is the part I don't understand.  What is the
format that goes in there?

Thanks a lot for any help you can give me!
