[comp.unix.xenix] Mapping Some Keys to Other

ashley@cheops.eecs.unsw.oz (Ashley M. Aitken) (01/15/90)

	G'day,

	I am trying to map the ascii value associated with a few keys on a 
	Wyse 50 terminal (in particular the "," key and a few others on 
	the numerical keypad) to some more useful ascii value(s) (read 
	other value for some keys and other strings for other keys, oops,
	confusing :-(), under SCO XENIX.

	If anyone has some ideas on how Xenix can help (as the terminal 
	sure can't) change the mapping for some keys, I would be most 
	grateful if they could e-mail them to me (as I don't have too much
	time to read news).

	In summary,
	Problem: How to map keyboard keys to other ascii characters and 
		 strings within Xenix. ?

	Reason:	 Would like to use the keypad more as a calculator, and
		 have '+' rather than ',' to save hitting Shift+  during
		 calculations.

	Wrong Answer: Get another keyboard/terminal! :-)

	Thanks in Advance for Any Hints and Help,
	Ashley Aitken.
