Re: WordPerfect for VMS

Awesome!  Thank you, I’ve been trying to wrap my brain around how it could be 
done. Though after printing and cutting it out, it strikes me as a bit strange. 
 It blocks F7-F20 on both the LK201 and the LK401.  

I would assume that they probably had a second template that was for the 
function keys.  The online help makes it sound like there may have been 3 
templates; edit key, numeric keypad, and function key.  After seeing this, I 
have an idea for creating a better template, and might give it a go.

If I had gone searching for it, I would have never found it.  As luck 
would have it, one just appeared while I was scrounging other things.

The Reference manual mentions that there should be a keyboard template, and 
that there were also “keycals".  I have two keyboards with the stickers to show 
which PF key goes to which set of the four rows of function key commands.

You can also display this on your terminal screen by hitting “help” twice.  It 
would be easy to create a template for the function keys, but with the “edit 
key template” and the “keypad template”, you just about have to have stickers.

Well, at least you had better luck than me, in that you found it.  I know I 
have either a LK201 or a LK401 with a keyboard template taped to it (if I 
remember correctly it’s a xerox copy), but that’s one keyboard I can’t seem to 
find.

I have the manual binder and box here as well, but there is no
keyboard overlay.  Do we know for sure if they provided one?

WordPerfect for VMS

[Zane Healy via cctalk]

Strange question, does anyone happen to have the keyboard overlays for the 
VAX/VMS version of Word Perfect that they can photograph, or better yet scan?  
I have the manuals, and the green, red, and blue stickers on the VT keyboard, 
but no overlays.  I *might* have the overlays, but I can’t find the the VT 
keyboard I’m thinking of (though after digging, I know I have more than I 
thought).

I’m looking for the VT200/300 version (which should work for my LK401).
