Has anyone been able to configure the function keys to the Word Perfect defaults on an NCD17 running X windows and the vt100 emulator? Linda

Since WordPerfect doesn't support X Displaystations currently, you will need some package to help you configure the NCD to work like a dumb terminal (yuk). You might check out Term for X Windows written by Century Software 801-268-3088. -=------ Dave Lee ---===---- Pyramid Technology Corporation -----=====-- 1295 Charleston Rd, Mt.

Well: 1) NCDs, as far as I know, have a VT100 emulator built in; it can be used either with a serial port, or with a "telnet" session; 2) I'm told there's this thing called "xterm" that runs under X, and that emulates a VT102; heck, it might even let you run dumb-terminal applications under X on an NCD. :-)

However, with no access to any function keys (except the four that were standard with the original vt100's), using WordPerfect is not much more friendly edlin. About the only thing WordPerfect buys you in this environment is nice printing support and some interperability with the DOS world. I wish WP would wake up and smell the X. +---------+ | Coral | |@@@@@*@**| |@@*@@**@@| Don Dewar |*@@**@@@@| Coral Network Corporation, Marlborough, MA |@***@@@@@| Internet: don@coral.com |@@**@@@@@| Phone: (508) 460-6010 |*********| Fax: (508) 481-6258 |Networks | +---------+

Here at UW we've recently acquired Word Perfect 5.0 and have been successful in making it work on an NCD terminal under X. All that was required was to ensure the DISPLAY variable was set correctly, and use xset to add a number of openwindow fonts into the font path. Yesterday we received an evaluation copy for AIX on the IBM 6000 and it came with a write up on how to set things up under X. Fred.
