Friends:
 
Can anyone tell me what the VT220 terminal sends over the wire when 
you press the GOLD or the GREEN key? I am trying to talk to a VAX 
(running VMS) that wants to believe my Mac is a VT220. Indeed, I 
have stumbled into a loop that I can exit only by typing a key sequence 
that begins with GOLD. Although I am using a DA called Term220 
that is meant to emulate the VT220, I can't find a key that produces the 
right effect. If only I knew what ASCII code the VAX wants to see, I 
could probably find a way to send it.
 
Thanks for your help.
