G'day,
I am trying to map the ascii value associated with a few keys on a
Wyse 50 terminal (in particular the "," key and a few others on
the numerical keypad) to some more useful ascii value(s) (read
other value for some keys and other strings for other keys, oops,
confusing :-(), under SCO XENIX.
If anyone has some ideas on how Xenix can help (as the terminal
sure can't) change the mapping for some keys, I would be most
grateful if they could e-mail them to me (as I don't have too much
time to read news).
In summary,
Problem: How to map keyboard keys to other ascii characters and
strings within Xenix. ?
Reason: Would like to use the keypad more as a calculator, and
have '+' rather than ',' to save hitting Shift+ during
calculations.
Wrong Answer: Get another keyboard/terminal! :-)
Thanks in Advance for Any Hints and Help,
Ashley Aitken.
