Can anyone give me a hint ? I'm new to Vaxstations... Just converted my MV II to a VS II/GPX two days ago. DECterm windows seemed to be working alright in the beginning, but now, the cursor keypad moves the MOUSE CURSOR rather than giving me DCL line editing functions. The FIND, SELECT,... key group also doesn't work. Very frustrating!! I was playing with all sorts of options, & probably one of 'em screwed up the cursor keypad settings. ARGHHH.... Well, I've tried to reset everything back to defaults, but still no success. Someone please help me before I go bonkers... THANKS!!! - Mark

This toggles the workstation between the mode you are in and normal. SELECT, PREV SCREEN and NEXT SCREEN act as MB1-MB3 when in this mode. In order to get back out of it hit Ctrl-F3 again. The above is a fairly common mistype of Ctrl-F2 which dismisses the operator console window. It has nothing to do with options and nothing to do with DECterm; it gets your whole workstation.
