I have a Televideo 965 terminal that is exibiting some wierd behavior, and
was hoping some kind soul could enlighten me on the exact nature of the
problem.

When used as a standard ASCII terminal, it works flawlessly.  My only
problem is when I try to use it under VP/ix (an MS-DOS emulator under
Unix.)  The terminal has an escape sequence to switch to PC-compatible mode,
where each key press and release sends a scan code out the serial port.  This
also works great, allowing me to run all kinds of nasty DOS apps from the
terminal.  The problem comes when I exit VP/ix back to normal terminal
emulation mode.  The terminal APPEARS fine, in that the display looks good,
but the keyboard is "confused."  Most key presses to nothing at all, not even
the "key click" sound.  A few keys will produce something when pressed in
conjunction with other keys, but it still doesn't make sense.  (For instance,
holding down the 'o' key and pressing 1-9 produces ^A-^J, or something like
that.)  My only recourse is to toggle power on the terminal to get back to
a sane state.

I have two potential explanations.  One, of course, is that the terminal is
broken.  I bought it used, so I that is a distinct possibility.  It just seems
strange that only this one function would break.  The other possibility is in
the keyboard.  The Televideo 965 supports three different keyboards.  The one
that came with this one is the one they call "U.S. ASCII" in the
documentation.  Is it possible that the PC-TERM emulation doesn't
work correctly on anything but the "Enhanced PC" keyboard?
