I wonder if anyone would happen to know (or would bother finding out)
many (okay, all) of the escape codes on the keyboard of the Wyse model
50.  My problem is that I need a Wyse 50 terminal to use specific software.
I can dig up an emulator that will let me SEE what a 50 would see, but it
just doesn't act like one.

Of the most importance, I need the codes to the function keys 1-4 and 16,
and I need to know what is sent when you press the page up and down keys.

To anyone with a 50 this could be as simple as sitting at a shell and 
pushing the keys to see what they do.  To someone who doesn't have a 50
this is a problemo.  Would anyone mind sending me mail and typing a
few function keys?  :)

                         Thx in advance,
                                      Shing
