Hi Don,

It sounds like Jaws just might be able to be made to understand the
gold key then.  It would take a huge "network" of macros to make it
work, but maybe (just maybe) it could be done.  Some applications
(especially editors) use the gold key quite extensively (as in it
modifies at least half the keys on the keyboard).

It sounds like it could be done in macros but, all politics aside,
"YUCK!" I wouldn't want to have to do it.

So, all this talk about the gold key aside, how are people using
talking computers as terminals to DEC computers?  If somebody's
doing it without a gold key I give them a lot of credit.
