The CommandShell emulates a terminal approximately decsribed by the mac2cs in /etc/termcap which in turn points to a vt100 entry according to the man pages. The CommandShell appears not to understand keypad mode. This ia a problem when connected to other systems and trying to run applications such as DEC's editor or IBM's smit. Is there a way to change the keyboard behavior of the CommandShell? Thanks James Wiley wiley@emx.cc.utexas.edu

Apparently the keypad mapping was not implemented as part of the command shell and unless you get an upgraded command shell from Apple, I don't think there is very much you can do about it. More specifically, the "Esc=" sequence does not turn keypad mapping on as the /etc/termcap file would seem to indicate. This is a Command Shell problem. Bharat.

The arrow keys don't seem to be working when I am using a command shell window rlogged in to another host. I vaguely remember something about the CommandShell vt100 emulation being incomplete. Is this my problem. Another problem is there an easy way to inform the host of the actual size of my commandshell window. Big windows make life easier. Host on the other end is a Sun Sparcstation 1. It appears that CommandShell will only use fixed width fonts (makes sense). Does anybody know of a fixed width legible font smaller than (or same size but more legible than) Courier 9 point? -- einhorn@triton.unm.edu
