Re: vt220 keys

From Colin McGrath: * Observe that Sally indicated the '-v' flag in her 'cat' suggestion, * so it WILL display control chars. * * Outout from "man cat": * * -v Display non-printing characters (with the exception of * TAB and NEWLINE characters) so that they are visible. * Control characters print like ^X for CTRL-X; the DEL * character (octal 0177) print as `^?'. Non-ASCII char- * acters (with the high bit set) are displayed as M-x * where M- stands for `meta' and x is the character * specified by the seven low order bits. Not on my SCO 3.2.2. My F1 key outputs ^[OP and using cat -v does: $ cat -vP # this is the F1 ^[OP P Q # this is the F2 ^[OQ Q l # this is ^X l $ Robert Minter Data Systems Support \\\\\\_/// Senior Software Engineer A Client Technologies Company ( _ _ ) E-Mail: rob@dssmktg.com Tel: 714.771.0454 (| ^ |) #include <disclaimer.h> Fax: 714.771.3028 \\`-'/ De Colores - Emmaus OC-13 SURF'S UP \\_/
