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.
