I made this some years ago but I've lost the config file, I only remember that it was possible, sorry ... ;-) Giovanni Thank you for your reply, :-) assuming you are referring to TeraTerm, it does have a keyboard map config file, but the only thing it maps are the key codes vs VT100 functions. It does not allow changing the escape sequences it sends out when a key is pressed. In fact I was just checking the escape sequences on the serial link and found that for page up the program sends out ESC [ 3 ~; similar sequences for page down, home and end keys; only the decimal digit changes. From what I can see, the editor does not handle these sequences as expected. But none of the VT100 documentation I have found on the net includes a ~ as the terminal character. The arrow keys send out the expected sequences. So, I'm still not quite where I wanted to be :-( Arnold --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

If you're having problems outside of the editor as well, make sure your TERM variable is set correctly. Thank you Charles. TERM is set to vt100 It is not that I'm having any problems when I use the PC keyboard, but only when I'm trying to run the system off the serial ports and try to edit a file. I understand that the original VT100 did not have 'page up & down' keys, so the PC keyboard must translate those keys such that they produce the desired effect - same goes for 'home' & 'end'. These work as expected from the PC keyboard, but not on a serial line. When using TeraTerm the 'page down' seems to move the cursor as expected, but 'page up' deletes the character under the cursor, while the 'home' and 'end' keys do nothing good or bad. I was mainly wondering if there might be a key mapping for the 'standard' editor which I might have overlooked and which would give me what I need.
