I want to redefine what the Accept k y > is currently set to in Informix (ESC) without using the options statement. > TIA for any help My thought would be that if you don't use OPTIONS to tell Informix to look for a different key sequence, then you'd better make a different key send the ESC key sequence. (which is Control-[ aka ^[ ). If in Unix, termcap seems probably easiest. You could even save a customized termcap entry for the terminal(s) in question and have the shell point to that entry (or termcap file) before executing the informix program(s). That way if the user has other programs which need a normal ESCape key, they would still get it with the normal termcap. Tim --- ~ SPEED 1.40 [NR] ~
