- I don't think any of the current incarnation of the emulators let you redefine
- the keyboard, but they do send unique escape sequences for all possible key
- combinations, including things like Alt-(letter), all function key varieties,
- keypad vs. normal Enter, etc..
-
- So - if you can redefine things on the Unix side of the coin (presuming that
- Crisp uses a termcap/terminfo entry or something), you should be able to
- get it to work fine.
-
- I don't know if I have a complete list of escape sequences handy at the moment.
- I'll see if I can put one together and post it.
-
- (BTW - if anyone else is using WordPerfect 5.0 on their Unix boxes, I've got a
- terminal definition file for OS/2 VT100 that makes the keyboard function
- identically to WordPerfect under DOS/OS/2)
