- I have run across an anomoly. (That or my ignorance is showing B-{ )
-
- I read all the postings about the GOLD-KEY definitions and decided to
- try defining some. I have all the Ctrl keys defined that were not
- "reserved" by TPU or VMS. So I tried defining Ctrl-X as gold and got no
- result. So I did a Set NoGold, undefined another key that I had defined
- (Ctrl-U RESTORE), and defined it as gold. I picked Ctrl-U because it
- seemed that the default definition of Ctrl-X was Restore and I would
- learn to use it.
-
- Now here is what is funny. Both Ctrl-X and Ctrl-U acted as gold keys.
- When I did a Set NoGold, both keys did the Erase To The Start Of Line.
- This happened even when I used the vanilla TPU. Are these two keys tied
- together somehow?
-
- Second experiment. Restarted TPU (customized), undefined Ctrl-U, Set
- Gold Ctrl-U, and now Ctrl-X is now a gold key also. Did a Set NoGold
- and both keys now Erase To Start Of Line.
-
- I really only need ONE gold key.
-
- I am on VMS 5.5 with TPU v2.6. At this time I am dialed in from home
- using Procomm+ 2.0 with a vt320 emulation.
-
- main.frame (man'fram'), n. the largest peripheral you can attach to a PC.
- Of course these are my opinions, you'll have to go out and buy your own!
