Re: 9100 Keyboard codes

<x-flowed>
How did you get this information Kev?

I was digging through my 9100 files and found I had copies some pages
titled Figure 6-3: Keyboard Escape Sequences (Page 6-7). There the special
keys (arrows, Fx, Help, etc are all Escape Sequence keys. For example Up
Arrow is "ESC [ A" and F1 is "ESC [ 1 0 ~"

Soooo, that's why I'm wondering which is correct.

If you start up the 9100 with the utility disc you can then go to the
subtest of the Programmers Keyboard and see if what is sent is what the
9100 expects. I'll try your codes tonight, I've had no success with the ESC
sequences so far.
