You probably haven't configured it correctly for the kind of keyboard you are
using. Take a look at the manual. It may take a little digging, but you'll find
it. The command you use is on one of the menus, I don't remember which, and
gives you a box where you can select which type of keyboard you are using.
There is also a separate application to configure special keys, but I would use
the built in configuration option first.

I prefer Versaterm myself. It seems to figure out what type I am using without
manual intervention, but if you own WK, no reason to purchase something else.
