3408.6Much better. But a couple of more questions...SETIMC::OSTMANhttp://setimc.soo.dec.com/ostman.htmlSat Jan 25 1997 13:1422
    
    Using the VT100 keymap or changing the keypad to numeric after connecting 
    if the VT220 keymap is used, almost does the trick. But the customer would
    ofcourse prefer if the users don't have to change the setup every time 
    they connect. On the other hand if they use the VT100 keymap I _assume_
    that they can't remap keys to the VT220 functions keys. 
          
    Is there an explaination of why the keypad is forced to 'application' when
    the VT220 keymap is used but not for VT100?
    
    The customer also noticed that when changing the keypad to numeric the
    enter key is no longer mapped to the 3270 enter but to TAB, is this
    correct? This was done with a modified VT220 keymap.

    Sure they can.  Defining a keymap to default VT100 only determines the
    starting definitions of the keymaps.  You cn proceed to remap them as
    you like.
    
    >Is there an explaination of why the keypad is forced to 'application' when

    I believe this was to match the behavior of the terminals.

    This is due to starting with the VT100 default keymaps instead of
    VT220.

    Is it correct that I can only map keys to the keypads application mode?
    Is it also correct that I can't get the keypad when in application mode
    to send 0-9 to the host.
    
    The thing is that the customer wants to map PA1-PA3, CLEAR to PF1-PF4
    and Enter to the Enter keys on the keypad. My understanding is that 
    this can only be done for if the keypad is used in application mode.
    
    At the same time he wants to have the 0-9 keys on the keypad mapped
    as that (0-9). My understanding is that this can only be done for if 
    the keypad is used in numeric mode.
    
    As I understand it, this simply can't be done with DNAS TN3270
    emulator, it that correct (I wouldn't mind it if I'm wrong)?

    >Is it correct that I can only map keys to the keypads application mode?
    
    No, I think that if you are in numeric mode, 0-9 will be generated by
    the number keys.  Those can be mapped like any other keys.
    
    >Is it also correct that I can't get the keypad when in application mode
    >to send 0-9 to the host.
    
    Yes.

    >and Enter to the Enter keys on the keypad. My understanding is that

    I agree.

    I agree.

    Sorry, but I think you are correct here.
