- I wish it was that simple for me. I'm having difficulty to get
- info to recognize all the cursor arrows I input; it gets some of them,
- but when it doesn't recognize one, itmoves the highlight back to the
- first item on a list. Picture the time it takes to move the highlight
- bar down to the end of a long list of search hits when every third
- arrow key generally sends it right back up to the top. I'm ready to
- try anything; rewrite terminfo definitions, use a different comm
- program on my laptop, anything just to get info working! Let me
- explain exactly what I am doing.
-
- I'm accessing a Cisco terminal server and telnetting to a
- Decstation. From there, I'm using rlogin -8 to a RISC/6000. On the
- 6000, I'msetting TERM to "vt100". On my laptop (IBM PS2/L40), I'm
- running Boyan 5.0 in vt100 mode. Boyan comes with the default arrow
- keys configured for emacs, but I have changed this for the correct
- sequences.
- Arrow Translation
- up ^[[A
- down ^[[B
- right ^[[C
- left ^[[D
-
- This works fine in emacs, smit, vi, and everything else; it
- doesn't work in info!
-
- Please reply by email; I'll post a summary if I get anything
- interesting.
