First of thanks Jeff and Frank for your answers. I appreciate your
taking the time to help. After reading Jeff's reply I did a bi
t more investigating.
I've been using Linux since 1997 and pretty much used Kermit the
whole time. I'd used Kermit under DOS since the late 80's. I apparentl
y just happened to be using the correct combination under Linux. The AL
T keys worked in X Windows using Xterm with the VT100 termcap. I tested this on
some older Linux boxes today and found that even under older Linux versions
the ALT keys did not work with the console or using Konsole, RXVT or KVT.
But I'm certain the ALT keys worked with my setup since RH V4.2.
I thought the change might be due to something in KDE V3, but th
e same behavior is seen with Ice, Gnome, Blackbox and Fluxbox window managers.
All I have to say is... Oh well. I'd amassed a good collection of shortcuts
using the Alt key, looks like its back to the drawing board - nothing I
can't get around with a few scripts. :-)
Thanks again,
John Kidwell
