Archives of past issues of the Info-IBMPC Digest are available by FTP only
from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL in directory PD2:<ARCHIVES.IBMPC>.
WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL can be accessed using LISTSERV commands from BITNET
via LISTSERV@NDSUVM1, LISTSERV@RPIECS, LISTSERV@FINTUVM and in Europe from
EARN TRICKLE servers. Send commands to TRICKLE@<host-name> (example:
TRICKLE@TREARN). The following TRICKLE servers are presently available:
AWIWUW11 (Austria), BANUFS11 (Belgium), DKTC11 (Denmark), DB0FUB11 or
DTUZDV1 (Germany), IMIPOLI (Italy), EB0UB011 (Spain) TAUNIVM (Israel) and
TREARN (Turkey).
If you are unable to access SIMTEL20 via Internet FTP or through one of
the BITNET/EARN file servers, most MSDOS SIMTEL20 files, including the
PC-Blue collection, are available for downloading on the Detroit Download
Central network at 313-885-3956. DDC is a networked system with multiple
lines that support 300, 1200, 2400, and 9600 bps (HST). This system is a
subscription system with an average hourly cost of 17 cents per hour. It
is also accessable on Telenet via PC Pursuit and on Tymnet via StarLink
outdial. New files uploaded to WSMR-SIMTEL20 are usually available on DDC
within 24 hours.

Subject: Proposed Mapping for IBM-PC Function Keys
In an attempt to define some standards for the mapping of IBM-PC Function
Keys (F-keys) into ansi escape sequences, I have been studying how various
terminals and software packages work. This is by no means a complete
investigation, and I have not made reference to any standards documents. The
table of those keys sent by these programs is below.
The first column is from the mskermit.ini take file that we are using now.
The author professed that his choices were somewhat arbitrary, so it is just
here for reference. The second is the codes sent by NCSA_Telnet. The third
are those sent by kermit when no mskermit.ini file is present. The values in
parenthases are those returned by the kermit 'show key' function. The vt220
definitions are derived from a Dec vt240 Series Programmer Reference Manual,
experiments with a real vt240, and information about mapping 8-bit escape
sequences into 7-bit escape sequences provided by Joe DupNick on the
info-ibmpc mailing list.
The last column is my proposed standard. I welcome your comments. We plan
to provide mapping tables for these key sequences in various formats. Those
include kermit take files with 'set key' definitions, NCSA_Telnet config.tel
files, 'dkey' program scripts, Unix termcap and terminfo entries.
We will also be establishing a set of definition for how these keys are used
by Sas on our Unix system. There is some debate over whether these should
reflect the operation of PC-Sas or perhaps CMS-Sas. The CMS-Sas operation
seems more in line with what little I know about SAA, but some people are
already getting used to the PC-Sas definitions and want those instead. I
welcome debate on the subject.
Note: a real vt240 has two sets of function keys. PF1-PF4 are called the
"Auxiliary Keypad Keys". F1-F20 are called the "Top Row Function Keys".
F1-F5 are reserved for functions local to the terminal.
