[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Telnet Key mapping

croft@csusac (Steve Croft) (08/30/90)

I'm using NCSA Telnet 2.3 and want to remap some of the VT100 keys...
The 'readme23.tel' seems to indicate that a keymap file is a simple ascii
file with 445 lines, each line position in the file represents a key.  A
value in that line will indicate the value to produced by that key
(confused yet?).

I have two question related to this:  if you have a keyfile defined, can
you include only those keys which you want remapped or do you need all keys
defined?  Also, what if you want a key to produce a string of values (like
a VT100 function key); I assume you would just put the string of values on
the line, but the documentation is unclear about this.

The documentation is a little sparse and no sample file was included.


Thanks,

Thanks for the replies to my question about the Telnet key mapping.
I just grabbed 2.3b10 which seems to be the answer.  In fact, we 
already had a Kermit key mapping file to do what we wanted.  So, things
worked out.  Again, thanks!
