- Hi,
- I have a analogous problem.
- Same keyboard, HP720 and HP-UX 8.05
- When I work in a hpterm, I obtain the pipe character "|"
- by typing [Ext Char][`] but when I work in a xterm,
- the same sequence give me a capital i with a hat
- something like I^ . So I compile and execute the small
- following C program
-
- #include <stdio.h>
- main() {
- int c;
- while ((c =getchar())!= EOF) {
- printf("%d \n",c);
- }
- }
- When I execute it in hpterm, and I type [Ext Char][`]
- it give me 124, fine but when I execute it in a xterm
- it give me 166.
- Till now, I have found no solution, if I want a pipe in
- a xterm (and I'm oblige to use xterm, because on some computer
- there is no hpterm) I have tu cut and paste from an hpterm.
- So I think my problem is very close from the one of Janick Taillandier.
- I have also red the two answers of Arne Thormodsen and, may be I'm not
- so smart, but I don't see the solution.
- Hope this will help to fix the problem
