Well, VersaTerm-PRO 3.0.2 handles control-space as ASCII NUL, which is what control-@ is supposed to emit. Note that this is a vt100ism. I would be really surprised if VersaTerm 4.0 doesn't do the same thing. The only other "legal" shifted control character I can think of is control-^, which works fine in VT-PRO. VT-PRO has a built-in keyboard remapper, so you don't have to fool around with ResEdit, as others have suggested. Charles Allen cca@newton.physics.purdue.edu
