I have run across an anomoly. (That or my ignorance is showing B-{ )

I read all the postings about the GOLD-KEY definitions and decided to
try defining some.  I have all the Ctrl keys defined that were not
"reserved" by TPU or VMS.  So I tried defining Ctrl-X as gold and got no
result.  So I did a Set NoGold, undefined another key that I had defined
(Ctrl-U RESTORE), and defined it as gold.  I picked Ctrl-U because it
seemed that the default definition of Ctrl-X was Restore and I would
learn to use it.

Now here is what is funny. Both Ctrl-X and Ctrl-U acted as gold keys.
When I did a Set NoGold, both keys did the Erase To The Start Of Line.
This happened even when I used the vanilla TPU. Are these two keys tied
together somehow?

Second experiment.  Restarted TPU (customized), undefined Ctrl-U, Set
Gold Ctrl-U, and now Ctrl-X is now a gold key also.  Did a Set NoGold
and both keys now Erase To Start Of Line.

I really only need ONE gold key.

I am on VMS 5.5 with TPU v2.6.  At this time I am dialed in from home
using Procomm+ 2.0 with a vt320 emulation.

   main.frame (man'fram'), n. the largest peripheral you can attach to a PC.
   Of course these are my opinions, you'll have to go out and buy your own!
