- Hi,
-
- I have an HP-730 series (Snake) machine with the appolo type keyboard.
- I am trying to use certain X applications which need the Alt key. I
- tried to configure the application to use the Extend key insead, however
- the Extend key looks like is sending the ISO character set, i.e.
- Extend-A puts \xE5 in my file.
-
- What can I do to turn this thing OFF. I really do not care much about the
- ISO character set, however would like to use my applications which use the
- Alt key combinations.
-
- How would the above scenario get affected on an HP-101 keyboard. I would
- prefer to get it resolved on the Appolo keyboards.
-
- Please send me an EMAIL and I would summarize.
-
- Thanks in advance
