From my ASCII terminal, I am able to work with YAST (yast -m -t) for most things.

However, when I go into System Administration, User Administration or Group Adminstration, I am not able to save changes, get help or select existing groups or users.

F1, F3 and F5 bring me back out to the System Administration menu.

Any attempt to leave the screen brings up a dialog box that says that leaving the screen will cause all information on the screen to be lost.

You can use alternative keys, if the function keys do not work. They are explained in the YaST online help:

[SNIP] If you start YaST from a terminal or your keyboard lacks the function keys, you can use the corresponding "number" keys instead (e.g key "1" instead of "F1" etc.) This, of course, only works if you are not within an entry field. From version 0.71 onwards, YaST is capable of activating the appropriate combinations by pressing Ctrl-F followed by the number of the function key.

Well, here an example:

F1 -- Number '1' -- Ctrl-F '1' F2 -- Number '2' -- Ctrl-F '2' . . F10 -- Number '0' -- Ctrl-F '0'

Almost any masks may be left by either pressing the ESC key or 'q'. [SNIP]

I know, the english is a bit strange :) A "mask" is a screen dialogue.
