2639.0. "DECterm/vt340 problems" by RANDIE::ANDY (Make me rich, and you'll be happy) Mon Apr 23 1990 14:03

    We are haiving two proving problems with DECterm. These are:-
    
    1) In vt340 mode the F11 key generates an escap character only. On a genuine
    vt340 this creates ~[023.
    
    2) In Regis mode we never get the default cursor (cross hairs), or
    at least they are not visible.
    
    can anyone help ? Are these known problems ?

    RE 2) DECterm doesn't implement the crosshair cursor.  The input
    	  position is that of the mouse arrow.
2639.2F11 has problems on UltrixHANNAH::MESSENGERBob MessengerMon Apr 23 1990 17:436
Re: .0

Problem 1 is a known problem on Ultrix, but not on VMS.  I think the UWS server
might re-map the F11 key at a fairly low level.
