Thanks. But are there any utility programs that can force a scan code
to be produced by one of these keys? Since IBM's CM/2 and other 3270
packages allow you to set right control key to enter, I would think that a
utility program could be devised to do the same thing and allow Kermit to
think that it (right control) has a code too.
