632.0. "dtterm & F11 and Help keys ???" by PANTER::MARTIN (Be vigilant...) Thu Apr 10 1997 12:31

    I saw many discussion about key mapping problem with dtterm
    reported in this conference.
    
    My customer needs to use function keys F6->F20 because of
    Ingres !
    
    He complains that F11, Help & Do keys do not behave the expected
    way with dtterm !
    
    The "Do" key workaround of note #522 gave me satisfaction for the
    "Do" key itself, I expected it to fix the "Help" key also from 
    the modification I read, but not !!!
    
       Dtterm*dtTerm*Translations: #override\n\
               <Key>Help:              vt-edit-key(help)\n\
               <Key>Menu:              vt-edit-key(do)\n
    
    Is there a way to fix F11 and Help keys in the same way as above ?
    
    I read in QAR #46676 that this was fixed in steel bl17, has it been
    backported to v4.0a or v4.0b ?
    
    Cheers,

632.1file an IPMTUNXA::BEUTENo good deed ever goes unpunished...Fri Apr 11 1997 12:495
	File an IPMT case to get the fix; I still can't confirm whether
	it has already been backported or not. Regardless, if we have
	the fix for Steel, creating the patch shouldn't be difficult.

632.2Think customer can wait...PANTER::MARTINBe vigilant...Mon Apr 14 1997 05:5916
    Hi,
    
    Thanks for your reply.
    
    If a fix had been backported it would have been welcome, but
    I think an IPMT for this is not needed, as my customer can
    use dxterms as a workaround until he can upgrade to Steel
    (planned to Q1 CY98(p) if my source of information is correct) !!!
    
    I will see with customer if he can wait that long ...
    
    
    Cheers,
