Hello -- I am running SCO XENIX-386 2.3.2 at work with Xsight 2.2.0 and I'm trying to get the ANSI terminal emulation working properly in an xterm window. The problem is that I am not getting ANSI escape sequences from my function and cursor keys. I've got some applications that expect ANSI sequences and this is annoying. If I bring up an xterm window, $TERM == ansi, $TERMCAP == what-you-would-expect-from-ANSI, but hitting a function or cursor key generates a non-ASCII escape sequence. Well, tell me to RTFM, but I can't find out what to do from the documentation. Help, please ... Thanks, John -- John R. Meyer Path: ...!uunet!nat-3!root 10208-C Ashbrooke Ct.

Help, please ... \-- Well, xterm emulates a vt100, not an ANSI terminal, so the function and arrow keys should send out whatever escape sequences those map to on a vt100. Maybe you ought to consider obtaining the SCOterm EFS. SCOterm is essentially a modified xterm that supports SCO console capabilities, including ANSI emulation and colors, in a text window.

There is a EFS (Extended Feature Supplement) available freely via
anonymous FTP or uucp or on disk from your dealer or SCO called
scoterm supplement. This product emulates a coulor console in a xwindow.
