Greetings folks! I need help with re-mapping the function keys on the Mac keyboard (not the FKEYS). The Macintoshes are using NCSA/BYU Telnet 2.5 to connect to a UNIX mainframe. The Unix host is running software that REQUIRES the use of the function keys, and shift-combinations thereof. Yes, this program was designed for use with DOS machines. I have played around with ReEdit 2.1, but have been unable to re-map the function keys for either the Telnet application OR the system. As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter what I assign to the function keys, they always send the same codes. I hae successfully re-mapped other common keys, though. So, can anyone offer some ideas? How can I re-map the function keys? Or at the very least tell me what key codes are currently being sent from the function keys? If I knew that, maybe we could set up a termcap entry on the Unix host. Any thoughts, ponters and/or programs would be appreciated. Thanks! Brian Boyer Computer Consultant for IU Alumni Assoc. b/\b
