I want curses to interpret function keys. i.e) keypad( stdscr, TRUE ); This works perfectly on the console. However when I go to a vt100, the trouble begins. The NUMERIC keypad characters are interpreted. There isn't a NUMLOCK key on a vt100. If I do: keypad( stdscr, FALSE ); then NONE of the function keys are interpreted. If anyone has a workaround, I would be grateful. I had a user fighting with this for 6 months before she told me. computer: Wedge Tech 386, digiboard8, microport SV/386(2.2), curses(3X). terminals: Ampex 220, HDS-220, DEC vt100, DEC rainbow. thanks, merlin killer!mic!cms2!merlin
