Hello,
I have the following weird problem, and im hoping that you can help
me.
Im working on a Linux machine (fedora core 7) and connect trough ssh
or telnet to a server, on which ITX (=Wordperfect for Unix) runs. For
some reason, i cannot use any of the WP shortcuts. I need shift-f7 -
The printer menu - to test printers for users.. Now, the normal F1
through F12 work fine, but not SHIFT / CTRL / ALT combos.
My collegues, on windows, use K95. this is preconfigured a long time
ago (the mappings etc).i dived into the conf files and see wether any
special parameters where set. i coulndt find any, except termninal
protocol is vt220 or kermit. on linux this should not be neccesary,
since xterm already has the vt220 terminal "embedded".
I've already tried installing Ckermit, and copy the windows .INI files
(with the key mappings for Kermit) onto my machine(and edit them
slighty), to no avail..I tried downloading premade mappings from
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftp and place those in my .kermrc
file.
To no avail...
Searching the newsgroups i found commands like " set terminal keyboard-
mode wp" to set kermit in WP mode.. But Ckermit is not excepting
this..
That is to say, in those post people reffer to "pressing ctrl-x" to
get in command mode, but that doenst do anything .
I simply start kermit by typing kermit at the prompt, and then telnet
or ssh <servername> at the C-Kermit prompt.. once logged on there, i
start ITX.
Somehow i have a strange feeling my xterm or (Gnome-term for that
matter) simply does not send the shift-F7 keystroke to the remote
machine...
I've tried export TERM=vt220, in the idle hope that that might change
anything, to no avail...
I tried from a normal terminal (no x), with the same results..
Since kermit is so well documented im starting to feel rather stupid
at this stage.. Im no expert, but most of this is not new to me, so
what im a doing wrong here?
I just need this silly SHIFT-F7!
Does anyone here by any chance know how to fix this???
Any help would be greatly apprecited. If i need to suplly any info,
please dont hesitate to contact me.
With kind regards,
Leen Smit
