RE: vt220 keys

i would make sure your keyboard is actually sending the characters your termcap is expecting. the easiest way is to go into vi, go into insert mode, hit ^v, and then the function key in question. am i to understand that your terminals don't have an f5 key??? -joe- (huddles@hasting.com) ---------- From: ilist To: informix-list Subject: vt220 keys Date: Thursday, August 17, 1995 10:31AM Hello, Informixer's. I'm having trouble with function keys on my vt220 and vt320 terminals. In a 4gl program I use ON KEY F6..., but when I depress it the terminal just beeps. The keys F1-F4 work ok. On the ansi console and on a wyse 160 all keys work fine. My termcap key definition for vt220 is :k0=\\EOP:k1=\\EOQ:k2=\\EOR:k3=\\EOS:k4=\\E[17~:\\ :k5=\\E[17~:k6=\\E[18~:k7=\\E[19~:k8=\\E[20~:k9=\\E[21~:\\ (Note that k4 and k5 have the same definition. I do this because the vt220's do not have the F5 key) What's wrong with it? Thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------ Juan M. DeVilleros - ejda142@delta.eafit.edu.co
