? One problem is that when you are in vt220 mode, your ESCAPE key no
? longer generates the ESCAPE character (ascii 27), it generates
? "CSI 2 3 ~" instead (for use as F11). Therefore, another key (no pun
? intended) question is: how do you generate ESC from the keyboard in
? vt220 mode? (When in vt100 mode, ESC is generated using the ESC/F11 key).
? I wrote a termcap that seems to work otherwise, but vt220 mode is
? useless to me if the result is that you have no ESCAPE key.
? Am I missing something?
Escape is Control-[. BTW, you probably want to run with the `communications
set-up' menu in `7-bits, space parity', and the `general set-up' in
`vt220 mode, 7 bit controls'. Wanna guess what kind of terminal I have?
