Hi,
One of my customer has a VS3100 with Desktop-VMS V1.1. When he tries
to change the keyboard mapping with the customize keyboard option in
the session manager, in the list box he gets the keyboard names prefixed
with the path name, i.e. [SYS$KEYMAP.DECW.SYSTEM]SPANISH LK201LS DP.
If he tries to select a different keyboard than the default, doesn't
work, because writes in DECW$SM_GENERAL.DAT the name of the new keyboard
along with the directory:
Keyboard_dialect: [SYS$KEYMAP.DECW.SYSTEM]SPANISH LK201LS DP.
Has anybody seen this before?
Is there a way of getting rid of the pathname in the list box?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't ever remeber seeing the behavior you reported. A fast scan
of the sources didn't provide any clues.
Any chance you've got a non-standard definition of the DECW$KEYMAP
logical name?

I have the same problem, I think, with V5.4. I think that DTVMS redefines sys$sysroot to add the CDROM to the search list. I've also done the same thing so that I can run field test versions of VMS on my workstation without the rest of the cluster being upgraded and without my having to install the 40-50 layered products that I expect to be around. Most things work, but this is one that doesn't seem to. I have no idea why changing the search list causes problems, but it seems to. | |||||

DECW$KEYMAP = DECW$SYSCOMMON:[SYS$KEYMAP.DECW.USER]
= DECW$SYSCOMMON:[SYS$KEYMAP.DECW.SYSTEM]
DECW$SYSCOMMON = $1$DKA300:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON]
both defined in DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES table.

Right, I have defined DECW$KEYMAP pointing to the directory where the
keymaps are: $1$DKA300:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYS$KEYMAP.DECW.SYSTEM] and
worked out. My customer is happier. Thanks for your hints.
Is this the expected behavior when using search list?
BTW, DTVMS version is 1.1A.
