Thanks! This evening was a break-through. The keyboard-mode needs to
be issued after the session is started and then the W is appended to
the terminal type. I have forgotten whether she used vt220 or vt320. I
used the vt220W and go to the help screens and that lets you see the
UNIX template.
I expect that the days of UNIX WP and ProComm are pretty fuzzy
memories to most folks now - certainly to me. We never used UNIX
based applications, except for CAD workstations and they and their
dark room requirements didn't last so very long because along came
AutoCad and we were all PCs.
Thanks for the help. If you find the ProComm mappings/Kermit version I
am willing to try.
