Informix likes to do function keys a bit different.. Their naming scheme leaves them off by one ( I think we all figured that out. ) Informix prefers using termcap instead of terminfo. Informix will even support color terminals if you use termcap. Use the Informix termcap (or one of your own choosing) and let Informix use what it likes ( if it isn't already doing that anyway). This would explain why your changes with tic didn't help. If you need any help, drop me a note. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Informix Premier Var -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Miguel A.
