Kagel A quick look in termcap shows that Wyse 50 sends Ctrl+A followed by another character for its function keys. I had terminals that did this (Fortune). This will foul up your field editing as Ctrl+A toggles insertion. As you cannot override Ctrl+A but you can override the ACCEPT key (ESC), I suspect you will have fewer problems redefining ACCEPT to something more than ESC, or even use a separate control key, as June suggests. -- <HR> Peter Lancashire Information Systems Specialist, Bayer plc Eastern Way, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP32 7AH, UK Tel: +44-1635-562258, Fax: +44-1635-562281 <HR> If all else fails, read the instructions and the release notes.
