Is it possible to have the F1 key working as CTRL/S CTRL/Q in a dtterm on UNIX V4.0 (it works as intended in a DXterm) Thanks for help Flavie

You won't find that ability in either xterm or dtterm. | |||||

I completely disagree and take issue with this. Dxterm emulates Vt*'s (100's, 200's, 300's, and even some features from 400's I think). Support for F1 in a Vt200 or later terminal emulator is a feature, not a "hack". Xterm claims only to emulate a vt100 (and tek 4014) so it can get away with this. dtterm claims to emulate "ANSI X3.64-1979 and ISO 6429:1992(E)" terminals "like a vt220". Every PC terminal emulator I've used correctly mapped F1 to Hold Screen. Most third party terminals do as well. I consider this a bug in dtterm. Pete | |||||
