Second off, my experiance with No, DesTerm 2.00 has not yet been released. There are several reasons for this, but it suffices to say that Matt has become sufficiently eager to release it that he's wrapping things up fairly quickly. We are running off the manual today. By the end of the week, 2.0 packages should be shipping to registrants who didn't get 1.02 from Matt. >cursor keys has been the following.

DesTerm's VT-102 mode supports evereything that a Commodore 128 can support, and that includes full numeric and application modes for the keypad. When in ANSI or VT-102 mode, hitting a cursor key will send the correct ESC sequence as defined in the ANSI standard. Unfortunately, you can't load a new keyboard translation table. This is something that I have encouraged Matt to consider, but it hasn't come up as much of a priority. >I've compiled micro-emacs on 3 of the systems with the VT100 cursor key >interpert set, but it will not use the vt100 cursor keys.
