On comp.sys.mac.system, I wrote: -- Most annoying incompatability: ZTerm 0.85 used to use a custom KCHR to map option to control, if you had no control key. This meant that while ZTerm was running, you couldn't type option characters in the Finder, but it was still nice. This doesn't work at all now, leaving me with no way to type control characters or escape. (I didn't discover this one until I tried to leave input mode in vi -- I had to drop the connection to get out :-). So, it's MacLayers time... I got this suggestion, which others might find helpful: From MJBURNETT%UALR.BitNet@vms3.macc.wisc.edu Mon May 20 07:05:52 1991 > hello. > here's a zterm tip that u might find useful. > since the keyboad remapping in zterm is no longer functional and ctrl characters > aren't remapped to the option key, set up some zterm macros that perform > their functions. for example, on my vax account i need ctrl Z, ctrl C, and > ctrl ]. in the macros, i set 3 of them up with ^Z, ^C, and ^]. the caret (^) > character substitutes as the ctrl key (you know, like in modem init strings > where ^M is the carriage return). > > this works beautifully for me. no probs at all. > > i only have read capibility for usenet, so if u find this useful, u might > want to relay it to the newsgroups. > hope this works for u. > mike. -- Garth Dickie -- Math Graduate Student? -- dickie@math.wisc.edu
