- I have the same exact problem. (I'm netting thru a VAX right now!) What I did
- was to use my macros to define the necessary keys. All the special keys are
- escape sequences. They all begin with ctrl bracket(^]) plus a regular bracket
- (]) and the founr arrows each tack on a letter A,B,C or D. so macro 1 can be
- made to be "pr /^]]A/" and macro 2 "pr /^]]B" and so forth. I can't remember
- off hand what the page up and page down keys are. Ctrl-B is the DO key.
- Ctrl-K is remember. (in the TPU editor) Lemme tell ya, those were a
- pain-and-a-half to figure out. (somewhere I have a sheet with almost ALL of
- them) Good luck. Oh, ctrl-W refreshes the screen in the TPU editor.
- Additional goodie: those macros can give you quite the advantage when playing
- on-line games that require fast reactions!!! You can tear apart Operation
- Overkill II with them!
