Hi, I need to map or enable certain keys within a single instace of (preferably) an xterm. I telnet into a machine on our local network that runs an app on a SCO background. If I select vt220 keyboard for xterm I can get keys F1-4 OK but all the others are non-functional. The mappins I need eo emulate are in this format: F9 = ESC OX F10 = ESC OY etc etc. If I type the maps I get the functionality I need but typing for instance: ESC [@ is not easy. Please would someone be so kind as to suggest how I can launch an xterm ( ? via a separate launch script ) that will enable me to remap as needed? Many thanks Francesco

Eterm will let you map keys. I have to use text based software at work on HP-UX. Eterm is in the "eterm" package on the SuSE CD's (I don't remember which group). The nice thing is that you can setup the keys in a seperate configuration file. So one session of Eterm uses the normal keys, and another session uses the mapped keys. I can send you my configuration files in about 12 hours, when I get into the office. There's also a man page (man Eterm). -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar@galaxyinternet.net "Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" -- Matthew 6:25b
