1485.0. "Windows VT emulator for ALL-IN-1?" by WOTVAX::DORANA (Confuse-a-cat Ltd) Wed Sep 23 1992 10:16

    This question is in this conference because it is ALL-IN-1 related -
    honest...!
    
    I write ALL-IN-1 applications. In doing so, I frequently edit FMS forms
    (using CM of course!).
    
    The problem I have is that I am using a PC - Windows 3.1 with the VT320
    emulator supplied with PATHWORKS. This emulator works fine until I
    attempt to assign field attributes whilst in the FMS editor.
    
    As I'm sure you all know, to do this, you need to hit GOLD-(Keypad Enter).
    Unfortunately the 320 emulator interprets this as GOLD-Return - which
    causes FMS to display a 'Function key not active' message.
    
    Does anyone know of a Windows VTxxx emulator that can be used correctly
    with gold keys???
    
    Cheers,
    
    Andy

	Hi, You could always use the "Assign Field Attributes" option from the main FMS menu. Not as convenient for single-field changes as GOLD-ENTER, but at least it would work with your emulator. Scott

	SMART TERM 420 should do what you want. If for some reason the keys are not mapped right, there is a pop-up keyboard that has ALL the keys (and looks like) a LK201. Darryl
1485.3	Sethost?	IOSG::SHOVE	Dave Shove -- REO-D/3C	`Thu Sep 24 1992 12:03`	3
	Or, if you have Windows 3.1, try running sethost under it. Dave.
1485.4	See shareware conf. for others...	IOSG::MARCHANT	Only parrots succeed	`Sun Sep 27 1992 23:15`	10
	There are a number of shareware alternatives - look in the VMSMKT::IBMPC_SHAREWARE conference (press `Select' to add to your notebook.) I personally use WinQVT (I'm using it now!) which is a shareware VT220 emulator which maps the LK201 keyboard really well. The other plus-point for me, is that I can have >24 lines... Cheers, Paul.
