Re: Need help on how to set function keys on terminals

You have to modify your termcap entry for vt100 terminal and define the char sequences for your function keys (k0-k9, kA-kZ). You can get the function keys char sequence either in documentation or by pressing them at the shell prompt (or in an editor in insert mode). Of course you can get the codes from terminfo, but I have doubts they are the same. Hope this helps, Octav On Mon, Aug 30, 1999 at 12:25:30AM -0700, Kent Chiu wrote: > > Hi, > > I am new to informix 4GL.
