Latest update, taking bits and pieces from folks comments...
I started Terminal and set the terminal variable to VT100 then started a
new bash:
TERM=vt100 exec bash
I hope you understand that the TERM environment variable in Unix don't
actually do anything, except inform running programs that they should
try to work the terminal using VT100 control sequences.
Yup. I had read this, but now I understand it even better. It's an
environment variable only and therefore only meaningful to the programs
looking for it. I have no idea if simh cares about it and after you
commented, I tried it without the environment variable and sure enough,
it works fine. So, really, the only thing needed is the keymapping for
ESC-O-w
RT-11 do not know, nor care, about a Unix environment variable. So
that thing is actually totally meaningless here. :-)
Indeed.
started the rt-11 simulation
pdp11 boot.ini
then tried ked somefile
I was able to use fn-F1 as the Gold Key, but I couldn't figure out how
to get Command. I then hooked up a regular mac keyboard to the laptop
(it has a numeric keypad) and was able to get both fn-F1 and numeric
keypad 7 to work as GOLD-COMMAND. This was encouraging. I went back to
the laptop keyboard and was able to use fn-F1 as GOLD and then ESC-O-w
as command, remembering y'alls advice. This was workable, but not ideal.
So, I took a look at the keyboard tab in Terminal preferences and was
able to assign ESC-o-w to a key and voila, rational keyboard :).
Thanks for all of the tips and pointers. I am pretty pleased with the
way things are working now and have a much greater level of
understanding of how to figure these sorts of issues out going forward.
I am glad that it works with a regular terminal because copy and paste
and such in the host is much simpler than with xterm or another
emulator.
Excellent. More knowledge is always useful.
Johnny
