ESC P on a VT52. You should probably use a VT52 emulator, since if it expects these it will probably expect others. Some VT100 emulators, including xterm and putty, can be put in VT52 mode by printing ESC [?2l to them; print ESC < to change it back. On most emulators you can use either F1 or Num Lock (or both) as the PF1/Gold key. Some of the text of the Wikipedia article on the Gold key seems to imply that some software directly supported the VT100 (and therefore would expect ESC O P for the Gold key). Some terminal emulators will output these codes for F1-F4, others opt to use different codes. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
