While logged on to unix machines from a vaxstation-2000 with LK201 keyboard (vt-100 term), how do I get an escape key? Is there a special termcap for this? How is it done for dec machines running ULTRIX (I assume these also use the LK201 keyboard)? I appreciate your help very much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chiraprakash Nayak Brain Physics Group O:(504) 865-5897 Department of Biomedical Engg.

An alternate way of generating an Escape is usually ^[ (Control-[). I've found that ^[ works on nearly every keyboard that I've used. -- Alan Wolfson (617) 229-2870 x2173 MilliGen / Biosearch 186 Middlesex Turnpike, Burlington, MA 01803 al@lauren.millipore.com

I use it on an LK201 while logged into a Unix network from a VAX running VMS. -- DISCLAIMER?

If you VS2000 is a workstation running X, you can also play games with your keysym mapping (look at xmodmap in the MIT X11 distribution), and with toolkit mappings. - Jim

I always use cntrl-3 on the LK201 keyboard for escape. Steve Strange

The Escape key on an LK201 is F11. Mike Michael Ewan (503)627-6468 Internet: mike@raven.USS.TEK.COM Unix Systems Support UUCP: ...!tektronix!puffin!raven!mike Tektronix, Inc. Compuserve: 73747,2304 "Fig Newton: The force required to accelerate a fig 39.37 inches/sec."--J. Hart

I wish to thank every one who replied to my query regarding escape key on LK201 keyboard. 1. With VWS on VMS, cntl-[ is the only solution that worked for me. 2. While within emacs(on an unix machine) f11 or f4 simply hangs the program. I had no choice but disconnect telnet and start over again. (I was logged on an unix machine from vaxstation-2000 (VMS) thru telnet). 3. With only 6MB memory, DECwindows runs so slow that, untill I can get more memory or DEC does something to speed things up, I have to use VWS. Thus I could not try remapping the keyboard under X as another suggested solution. Thank you all agian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chiraprakash Nayak Brain Physics Group O:(504) 865-5897 Department of Biomedical Engg.

Try control-3. I like this because it can be typed single handed. A more generic alternative is control-[, the problem here is that on many keyboards this is a two handed construction. -- -- Ross Alexander rwa@cs.athabascau.ca (403) 675 6311 ve6pdq
