When the discussion about the lack of vt52 keypad sequences on the ST first came up, the Atari reps replied that there WAS no vt52 keypad. I sent one of them transcriptions of the appro- priate pages from the vt-100 & DEC EDT manuals, explaining both the codes produced and the physical layout of the vt52 keypad. I presume they never have seen a real, live, vt52 (I know I havn't). I don't know if the Heath-19 (a vt52 workalike, w/ the addition of an insert/delete line code) has a keypad. perhaps that is what they were working from. Anyway.... Atari has had the info passed to them & are aware that they left something (well, not really VITAL) out of their vt52 emulation. Whether they are going to do something about it is still unknown. The only reply I recieved is an acknowledgement of my message, with no real info about whether any action would be taken in future ROMS. -Richard Hartman nep.pgelhausen@ames-vmsb ------
