Hello, all,
I have a need for a batch program to simulate pressing a PF key.
I've gotten Kermit to generate the binary code for "ringing" the bell, and
piped that to a file that I can now include in any batch program. The code
executes as soon as it is typed to the screen, and I've got a nice little
bell-ringer whenever I want it.
Now I need an F-key presser. I've tried using show-key to display the
decimal code, and then echoing that code. For some reason, although the
regular keys show up fine when their decimal code is echoed, the F and
other function keys do not. The echo merely shows the graphic (not the key
name) for that decimal code. For example, echoing the code for F2
produces <<. When this is piped to a file, and that file typed to the
screen, the code does not execute.
Does anyone know why the function keys behave differently and how to get
one to execute in a batch program?
Any help would be, as always, greatly appreciated.
Kathleen House
