Hi,

which key to press to have the fonctionnality of the F17--> F20 LK keys.
Any ideas ???

	Phill, I don't know of ANY emulator on the Amiga that support keymaps, I have tried VT200, VLT and they revert back to the US keyboard. The only way is to edit the file with CED and transfer it to the VAX, kind of a pain. In fact it's the only thing I find SERIOUSLY wrong with the Amiga, this lack of international support by software designers, especially American ones. Jean

	Handshake support F17 - F20 by just doing a shift + F7 - F10. I don't know what character set you need, but I'm using Handshake right now and can get these characters using the 'right-alt' key. ��#$%^&��߫�- shift - �� ,�� - shift - �� 컧 ��̺� �� ͼ�� It's not the same as a full time alternate keymap, but perhaps it does that also. ~Steve

	Well I lied, I checked how many different characters I could make with Smokey using the ALT and the SHIFT keys and came up with these: ` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = \ � � � � � � � � � � � <---- alt � � � � � � � � � � <---- alt + shift q w e r t y u i o p [ ] � � � � � � � � � � � <---- alt � � � � � � � � � � � <---- alt + shift a s d f g h j k l ; ' � � � � � � � � � � � <---- alt � � � � � � � � � � � <---- alt + shift z x c v b n m , . / � � � � � � � <---- alt � � � � � � � � � <---- alt + shift This is what VLT does, as you can see it doesn't do as many as Smokey, so it's use to me is still huge file transfers. ` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = \ � � � � � � � � � � � � <---- alt � � � � � � � � � � <---- alt + shift q w e r t y u i o p [ ] � � � � � � � � � <---- alt � � � � � � � � � <---- alt + shift a s d f g h j k l ; ' � � � � � <---- alt � � � � � <---- alt + shift z x c v b n m , . / � � � � � <---- alt � � � � � � � <---- alt + shift Jean Je pourrai �crire convenablement avec les accents de la maison, sans avoir � emprunter un VT220.
