I am using the latest version I can find of Uniterm. In the function editor how does one put a carriage return at the end of a key Like for example: if you want to get 'vax*' written and entered into the computer when you press F1 how can you get the carriage return in? Thanks Saurabh smisra@eos.ncsu.edu

The Uniterm manual suggests that you should try cntrl-M.

The question was "how to get Uniterm 2.0e to send a carriage return". The example requested was to get the character string "vax*" sent from f1. Looking at the macro language section, the syntax is as follows: send('vax*\r') # if you want the CR send('vax*\n') # if you want the NEWLINE To get it into a function key macro, the macro is %send('vax*\r'), meaning that you must escape macro-language function calls with '%'. Note that the string handling stuff also supports "\0xx" for an arbitrary octal string. Since 7-bit ascii won't fit into 2 octal digits, I believe it might be HEX and not octal - but I haven't tried anything more than '\r' and '\n', both fo which work just fine. ...walt...

In article 4fb2916e.20b6d, Walt Weber points out how I may have given incorrect
advice for programming Uniterm to send the string "vax*" followed by a
carriage return when the F1 key was pressed. He then presents an example of
how to use macros within function key definitions to achieve the desired
effect. However, my solution does work and is simplier if all you want to do is
send the string "vax*" followed by a carriage return. There is no need to imbed
the string in a macro. Now if you need some real smarts in the characters sent,
then a macro is essential.
