On the plus side, many terminal emulators can have their keyboard re-programmed so that when you press a key it sends the key that you want. I've used this feature to send the proper arrow escape sequences on bad VT220 emulators. Once the terminal emulator is properly configured the setup file for it can become part of the standard installation procedure for the user. So if the escape key sends CHAR(251), it can be changed on the emulator without writing new code. I know that Hostaccess and Hummingbird allow for keyboard re-programming. I've used Accuterm before but don't remember if you can re-program its keyboard as well. On my emulator, I've configured F12 to do: S^M so that when I step through the debugger I only need to press one key. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
