3239.0. "Key mapper?" by WONDER::WILLARD () Fri Feb 21 1997 18:39

	Does eX have a key mapper?  My favorite keyboard does not have
	any normal arrow keys.  With other comm.stuff (like Procomm),
	I simply remap the keypad 8/2/6/4 keys (when Ctrl is held down)
	to transmit up/down/right/left arrow key sequences.  {It is hard
	to retrain my aging brain to use EDT without arrow keys.}

Thanks & Cheers, Bob

    eXcursion's keys can be mapped by taking the keysym file - which is
    text - and editing it.  You will not be able to use ctrl to modify 
    your keys, but you might be able to use the alt key.  There is no
    GUI tool to remap the keys.
    
    A likely candidate for editing (for US users) would be:
    
    \xcursion\keysyms\isenhdus.txt
    
    Frankly, if terminals is all you want, you might take a look at 
    the PATHWORKS 32 PowerTerm, which looks as though it might map your
    keys a little easier.
