599.0. "MAC 'Powerbook 170'" by CIMNET::MATHEWS () Wed Apr 29 1992 15:18

    I have a user with a Mac running 'Powerbook 170'.  This allows him to
    run ALL-IN-1 on his laptop remotely...and send the data over the modem
    to his secretary.
    
    Anyhow...(back to my question).
    
    After he Creates a document, and wishes to GOLF FILE it...suprise! 
    There is no GOLD key.
    
    How does he file the document on his MAC?

599.1Kind of restricting...SHALOT::NICODEMWho told you I'm paranoid???Wed Apr 29 1992 23:5714
� After he Creates a document, and wishes to GOLF FILE it...

	Hmmm... that's a new one...  maybe I'll have to putter around with that
for a bit...  8^)

	Anyway, I'd assume your user isn't using WPS-PLUS, since without a
GOLF (sic) key, they'd be pretty hopeless (although I would imagine that even
in EDT, I'd be missing something without the GOLD key).  In any case, there are
generally other ways to exit an editor.  If it *is* EDT, the user can always
use Ctrl-Z, followed by the EX command.  But frankly, without some way to
duplicate the GOLD key, this user's going to have more problems than just
exiting the editor.

599.2GOLD, Schmold...CIMNET::MATHEWSThu Apr 30 1992 00:169
    <oh how I hate it when I make typos!>
    
    Yes...I meant GOLD.  ;-)
    
    He does use WPS-PLUS.  I should think that there would be an alternate
    key with the GOLD function, in this instance.  We just don't know what
    it is, or how to find out.
    
    thanks.
599.3key mapping is a terminal emulator featureIOSG::MARCHANTOnly parrots succeedThu Apr 30 1992 00:517
    It seems to me, your customer needs a decent terminal emulator.

    I suspect you might have better luck in a notesfile dedicated to
    Apple products, e.g. the macintosh notesfile.

    Cheers,
        Paul.
599.4Fn keys?GANTRY::HULLDigital Services Delivery - MotownThu Apr 30 1992 14:086
Doesn't the Mac have any function keys?  After all, F10 is a File Document
also.....

EDT style would make more sense though, in this case.

599.5Pulldown keypads!TRCOA::HALSEYI&#039;d rather be sailing!Tue May 05 1992 23:2211
    On the VERY brief experience I've had with a Powerbook, there was no
    actual keys for the keypad and function keys.  The only way to get at
    them (that I found anyway) was a pulldown keymap, then you move your
    mouse (sorry, ball) pointer to the appropriate key location and hit the
    button!
    
    This was using the MAC241 terminal emulator.  There was a pulldown for
    the keypad, and a different pulldown for the function and mini-keypad.
    It was a real pain to use.
