The keys you press may be either: 1. Interpreted by your Windows terminal emulation software and handled by it in some fashion, or 2. Passed over to the UNIX side and handled by the device driver and/or application program running there. For (1) (and possibly (2)), you would need to look at scripting capabilities built into your terminal emulation software. For (2), you can use Perl's Net::Telnet (from the client) or Expect (from the server) modules to write a script to manipulate the application. This script would stand in the place of your terminal emulator. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
