217.0. "Powerterm 525 Keyboard mapping..." by EVTAI1::9dhcp42.evt.dec.com::BERNEUIL () Thu Apr 10 1997 07:14

Hello,

Powerterm lose keyboard mapping of <hold> <print> <setup> <dial> <break> keys
when you connect to a host, why ?

Michel BERNEUIL French TSC


How to reproduce:

start powerterm 525
then choose options and keyboard map...

drag <F10> from VT keyboard to
<hold> <print> <setup> <dial> <break> <F6> <F7> <F8>

now on the PC keayboard first line we have

<esc> <F10><F10><F10><F10> <F10><F10><F10><F10> <F9><F10>....

exit with <OK>

now connect to a host, for exemple Telnet vax/vms host

before you get the vms prompt, the keyboard map is ok
after you get the $

the keyboard map is

<esc> <hold><print><setup><dial> <break><F10><F10><F10> <F9><F10>...

my login.com start with $exit

    I don't know if any login.com's are the culprit or not, but your
    putting "$ exit" on first line of your login.com is not sufficient to
    settle that question.
    
    For example, the system's login.com that runs for every user may
    still be happening.  See what file the logical name SYS$SYLOGIN points to.
    In that file, put
    
    	$ exit
    
    as first line to see if that has any affect.
    
    (but of course beware that this will affect other users ! If this is
    a problem, you can use this:
    
    	$ if f$edit(f$getjpi("","username"),"trim") .eqs. "YOURNAME" then exit
    
    Also, go into "authorize" and do a "show" for your own username and
    see what login script it points to.  Some systems use this in addition
    to or instead of the SYS$SYLOGIN logical name.  Make sure "$ exit" is
    effectively at the beginning of that script too.
