- I have been working at getting fully ANSI X3.64 (VT100) emulation out of my HP
- 9000/730. I need to cross work with suns, VMS, r/s6000, DECStations etc, and
- they are expecting a full keypad implememtnation. I have found that the
- following seems to do the trick. Comments/critiques etc appreciated!

- I have been working to get our HP 9000s compatible with the ANSI X3.64
- (VT100) environment. The HPterm wont work, and the default 46021A
- keyboard is not very usable. I have found the following provides near
- perfect emulation:
-
- 1) Order the C1429A (PS/2 style) keyboard
- 2) Install the xterm application from X11R5
- (the R4 xterm wont pass the escape sequences properly)
- 3) You will now need to map the keyboard correctly, I use the following
- shell script:
-
- xmodmap -e "keysym System = KP_F1"
- xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Divide = KP_F2"
- xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Multiply = KP_F3"
- xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Subtract = KP_F4"
- xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Add = KP_Subtract KP_Separator"
- xmodmap -e "keysym DeleteChar = Delete"
-
- which should probably be added to the sys.x11startup script.
-
- NOte that the DEC delete key will be the delete key among the 6 page
- operators to the right of the main keyboard. The backspace key still
- sends backspace. We could probably map <shft> backspace to delete if people prefer.
