Howdy!
I need to do some SQL*Forms work on a Mac acting as a VT100 but am having
some problems getting Telnet to make it work.
Because SQL*Forms depends so heavily on the VT100 keypad, I need a terminal
program that will emulate the keypad. Specifically the KP3 and ENTER (not
RETURN) keys.
Does anyone know how to make Telnet send these key sequences??? How about
another term program that does a better job with VT100 emulation?? Any
recommendations? I would like something PD (shareware) and available
quickly via FTP, if it exists.
Thanks,
Parker

If you look at a Mac keyboard, and look at the keypad, then the top four keys [clear, =, /, *] are PF1 - PF4. I just tried this using SQL*FORMS on a Sun here. Forms 2.3. PF3 is commit. The keypad enter should be ENTER. If you are actually running Forms3.0, then the keys it expects may be different. In Forms 2.3 you do a escape-k to get the key setup, in forms 3.0 you do a control-k. If you are telnetting to a machine where they don't have vt100 set up as the default crt description for Forms2.3, then sending the correct vt100 sequences may not work (unless the command that starts forms had the correct options called to use $TERM, SQL*Forms DOES NOT CHECK this by itself). cmc
