Baker, This can be "fixed" by changing the initialisation string in your UV terminfo database for your terminal type you're using (copy source/original, re-compile uv terminfo, etc). By default it changes the numeric keypad to "Application mode" fot DEC VT-series emulations. Or change your emulator to overide that (if you can). Also best NOT to use "ALL" option if you have you own keyboard input handling program. As it will trap all control characters itself. It also conflicts with !EDIT.INPUT subroutine and INPUT @(x,y) functions (ie. It will crash and probably drop you to the OS prompt).
COMMAND.EDITOR [ON|OFF] [ALL] [TCL prompt string"] ALL = (optional) Input editing on all input prompts (including BASIC programs, etc). "TCL Prompt" = (optional) - define alternative TCL prompt Example: >COMMAND.EDITOR ON "[EMAIL PROTECTED]> " COMMAND.EDITOR ON [EMAIL PROTECTED]> If using DEC VT emulation, you can use the cursor keys to edit the command-line and scroll-up and down the TCL stack (using PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys - depending on your keyboard emulation key settings).

I guess there are some tricks to smooth out things between AT2k and COMMAND.EDITOR. I put "COMMAND.EDITOR ON ALL" in my login PA and that was the end of my cursor keys and num pad. fwiw -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Miller Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 2:41 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] TCL Command stacker Yes, thanks all.
