I've got exactly the same problem with ATalk-III when using it on the
Penn State mainframe (VM/CMS).  If I touch ANYTHING in the ATalk-III
menus, none of the function keys, PF keys, or cursors will work right
anymore.

I understand Doc's explanation, but is there no solution??  I've already
learned not to mess with it, but sometimes it is necessary, and I find
it really annoying to have to log off, make the change, then save
the configuration, quit, reload, and relog on.

If there is no solution, I may be changing term programs....
