I am using a program called Versaterm to emulate a VT100 terminal when logging into a Xenix host. My problem is that I don't know where the ESC key is assigned to, so I can't get out of vi when I am done editing. Can somebody please tell me the correct key assignment. Thanks.

We have users who regularly login to Xenix hosts from Macintosh SE's using the "Microphone" VT100 terminal emulation program. There has never been a problem with the ESC key. Unless there is a difference between the SE and basic Mac keyboards, an ESC key exists on the upper left side of the keyboard. I'm not sure why the ESC key need be assigned anywhere, except to the ESC key. However, assuming Versaterm remaps the Mac keyboard [is that even possible?], you might try Ctrl-[, which will produce an ESC character. -- Dave Hammond daveh@marob.masa.com
