We have recently moved an application from SunView to X, and have ironed out all but one glitch. One of our tools needs a vt100 emulator as its interface, and worked fine under SunView using vt100tool. It now works almost perfectly under X using a normal xterm, but we seem to have lost keys PF1 - PF4 Using vt100tool, these were bound to the Sun3 keypad keys R1 - R4, but I can't seem to find the bindings for xterm. Details, Details: Sun3/50 and 3/110 workstations as display units, Sun 4/280 as (cpu) server SunOS 4.0.3 all around X11R4 but have the same problem under R3 twm (if that matters) Please e-mail replies. I will e-mail summaries if requested. --Rob Cuthbertson, US WEST Advanced Technologies robc@uswest.COM (uswat.uswest.com if your sendmail needs 3 fields) ..!{ncar, uunet, ucbvax}!boulder!uswat!robc

Many thanks to those (MANY) people who replied, I have been given the fix using the VT100 widget, which consists of adding the following to .Xdefaults: +---------------------------- # make the keypad R1-R4 work like vt100 PF1-PF4 xterm*VT100.Translations: #override <Key>R1: string("^[OP") \n \ <Key>R2: string("^[OQ") \n \ <Key>R3: string("^[OR") \n \ <Key>R4: string("^[OS") \n +---------------------------- Of course, the ^[ should be a real escape, not ^ followed by [ I am posting this for two reasons, first in two days (weekend, no less) I got about a dozen requests for summaries, and second I am being inundated with replies, most of which are similar to this technique. Many thanks! --Rob Cuthbertson, US WEST Advanced Technologies robc@uswat.uswest.COM
