3331.0. "Keypad question again.." by CSOA1::CURTIS () Fri Jan 12 1990 10:44

    This has probably been asked before, but what do you set up to get
    the top row of keys on the keypad to work? I like to use the VT100
    emulation and it seems I never get the full keypad functions. I
    have looked at the startup files and they seem to have the set map
    command in them. I use the vanilla startup files, since I haven't
    seen any reason to severely modify them. If I click on the SETMAP
    icon, I get a message "tooltype not defined" or something to that
    effect. I have an A500 with 2meg and a recently added A590.
    
    Also, does anyone use ATALK III ? I bought it recently and it looks
    like a good package, but I need to get this map problem straight.
    
    Thank you for your co-operation.....

    I use the Vt100 Atalk III emulator and the top row of keypad keys
    work correctly for me.  I didn't do anything to make that happen,
    it just worked that way!   For me, every terminal emulation problem
    (funny chars, etc) has been the result of something set up wrong
    on the VAX end and a
    
    SET TERM/INQUIRE
    
    has always fixed it for me.
    
    My only complaint with ATALK III is the inability to reverse the
    BCK/DEL keys.
