[comp.sys.dec] VT200 question

simnet@ssc-vax.UUCP (Mark R Poulson) (12/20/89)

Some of our users like to type in capitals all the time, especially under
VMS. However, when they login to a unix system they frequently forget to
turn off the caps lock and the environment is all messed up. I would like
to write a com file that forces the lock off when TELNETting to unix
machines. So far, I've been unsuccessful.

Has anyone ever found a way to turn off (or on) the "Lock" key by writing
some control sequence to the VT?  We've got a VT200 manual, but it doesn't
mention anything about caps lock. Is it possible to do this through software?

Any replies would be greatly appreciated!

	Thanks,
