Hi Folks! I have some remote users dialing in to a Sun machine. They use some vt-100 terminal emulators on their PCs to do this. The problem is, SQL*Forms under the vt100 terminal setting (i.e. sqlforms30 -c vt100 ) requires the use of the vt100 keyboards , key. That is, the comma key located on the numeric keypad.

Does anyone know what escape sequence this key sends out ?

For example, F1 is the sequence: ^]OP where ^] is the escape key. Others are:

F2  ^]OQ
F3  ^]OR
F4  ^]OS

On the numeric keypad, you get:

KP0 ^]Op
KP1 ^]Oq

   . . .
KP8 ^]Ox
KP9 ^]Oy

Or, does anyone know another way to execute a query in sqlforms 3.0 without going up to the menu ?

Thanks again.
