Hello,
A question about "tnvt" of FTP Software.
Can I reprogramm the keyboard so that some keys will send any
characters string, and not just the predefined VT100/vt220
function key seq., something similar to kermit?
Thanks for any help.

No. Our keyboard handler only deals with single keys. The multi-key VT220 escape sequences are generated elsewhere in the program, and can't be configured by the user. Thus, you can move keys, and unused 8-bit character codes can be defined as being generated by some particular keystroke or combination (chord), but you can't define F12 as "jbvb<CR>password<CR>" or anything like that. If you like kermit, either wait for our INT 14 telnet to appear in the basic product (next release), or get the INT 14 telnet right now ($40 to cover the extra disk and shipping), and use kermit for the user interface instead.
