I just started using VNC and it has a lot of advantages for the remote monitoring of computers that I need to do. However, I have one problem. With two of the programs that I am using, when I am running the Remote Viewer the cursor keys (Page-up, Page-down, up/down/left/right arrows) do not move the cursor in the window. With some programs they work but with others they do not. In all cases I am running inside a window, not maximized.
The two programs that do not work for are: 1. I am using pcAnywhere on the VNC-server machine to connect via an RS-232 cable to a third computer that is running entirely under DOS. If I use pcAnywhere to access the VNC-server machine, I can then set up another pcAnywhere session on that machine and control a program on the third machine. However, if I use VNC to access the VNC-server machine and try to do the same, pcAnywhere starts up on the VNC-server machine and connects with the third machine, but the cursor keys on my remote computer do not cause the expected movement on the third machine. 2. The problem is similar if I run a Telnet session on the VNC-server machine. One third party Telnet program sets up, but the cursor keys don't move the cursor around on the telnet session. However, if I start Telnet from a DOS prompt, I get a different version of Telnet and then the cursor keys work. (One obvious solution is to start Telnet from DOS, but I still have problem #1 above which I don't have a work-around for.). Thanks for any advice you can give me.
