I am in need of an Open-look compatible terminal emulation that functions just like xterm but with a useful change. That change not only downloads strings to be sent when a function key is hit, but embedded in the sequence is a 8 character over 8 character label for what the key does. That label appears somewhere so the user knows what it does. For those of you that have used AT&T 5425 or 5410 or 5420 or 615 or 730s that is what I want to see but the escape characters are not important. E.G. ESC[ps;ps;ps;psqlabel+string where 1st ps is whick pf key 2nd ps is the number of characters in the string 3rd ps is whether the key is transmitted or just added to the screen locally 4th ps is whether the key is a system or user function key OR ESC[ps1;pn;ps2;ps3;qlabel+string ps1=key number pn =strlen(string) ps2 dont care ps3=user vs system PF key label must be 16 characters 8 over 8 string as long as you like real example ESC[1;6;0;1gDIR or ls -l ls -l RSVP Any way you choose EMail attmail!fargis somerset!fargis
