[comp.unix.sysv386] Insert key in Word for

als@bohra.cpg.oz (Anthony Shipman) (09/20/90)

I have been installing Microsoft Word for Unix from SCO. I have tried to set up
a termcap def'n for it when running it from an NCD X terminal using Xterm. I
can get just about all of it working fine except for the Insert key.

xterm generates an ^[12~ for the Insert key. I just need to add a termcap 
capability for this key. I cannot find any such thing. There is e.g. PU for 
the Page Up key, EN for End etc. I have looked in the RTFM, the termcap man 
entry and the example termcap files that came with the system and Word. 

Some of the termcap definitions have an IN cap. with an escape sequence that 
looks like an Insert key.  There are also ki and Ki entries in other terminal 
definitions that look like insert keys.

Judging from all of the documentation there appears to be no capability for an
Insert key. Yet Word does work with the ANSI terminal type and its Insert key
works.

Is there a solution?
