I have been trying to work out how to use some special key combinations in TELNET in an application we use that runs under DOSEMU. These usually involve CTRL and ALT with some others (eg INS, F1, SHIRT + F1 etc). I have scanned the postings of this mailing list and know that you can manually press combinations to get these (eg CTRL ^ and c). While this works I wanted to work out how to configure a telnet client to automatically do this to save our poor old users from doing this. With a free version of telnet called "Console Telnet" (currently version 2.1) you can easily (after some configuration) do this. This means users for example can simply press things like CTRL ENTER (needed to clear a Novell message) and actually do a CTRL ENTER! I even got CTRL + SHIFT + F1 to work which our developers had used for some crazy feature (shades of Wordperfect). If anybody wants to know how to do this please email me and I will tell them. You should be able to get any key combinations working with this. This telnet client is small (min files to copy to client PC is a zip of 99K), runs under Win 95/98/NT, doesn't do any registry modifications and allows resizable variable screen full colour ANSI. It is perfect for allow remote users access to a DOS application. Kudos to the developer! If sufficient people want details I will post a followup to this list. If what i have said is obvious (and stupid!) then please excuse me but I am excited that the keys finally work!!
