6. EXTENDED KEYBOARD CODE SUPPORT
DOORWAY supports all extended character codes! This allows
you to send it the Function keys, Cursor keys, and ALT
functions. Undefined codes and the Ctrl PrtSc code are
trapped from going to the program, since some undefined
codes can crash the system. If you want to override all
extended codes, then enter a /T:@ on the command line, as
this will then trap the NULL character. At this time, there
are several modem packages which support extended keyboard
codes. The following table lists those which claim to have
DOORWAY capability. Most of the comm programs go into
DOORWAY mode by entering an ALT "=" (internal), except for
GT Power, which uses a CRTL DOWN Arrow. If your favorite
modem program doesn't support extended key codes, you might
mention this much needed function to your favorite modem
software vendor!
DOORWAY also supports the enhanced keyboard. If the com
package is capable of sending the enhanced keys from remote,
then doorway will return them to the program on the HOST if
an enhanced keyboard call is performed. Note that if the
HOST does not have an enhanced keyboard, any program on the
HOST is highly unlikely to ask for enhanced codes, and will
therefore not get them. Standard extended codes are encoded
as a NULL followed by the SCAN CODE. E0 enhanced extended
codes are encoded as "NULL E0H SCANCODE".
