When I try to type a ctrl-f (forward-one-character), or most any other
ctrl character, everything is OK.  But when I try to type ctrl-@, or any
of the ctrl characters involving a number key or shifted number key, I
get the number entered into my text (whether I used shift or not).  I am
using emacs, and have tried this with both RR 10.3 and VersaTerm 4.0.
For example, to set the mark, the command is ctrl-@ (ctrl-shift-2).  This
works fine on the GraphOn 225 I am currently using, but on my Mac is
enters a '2' into the text, and nothing else.

Any ideas?
