I am using Quickkeys to automatically download hqx
files to my Macintosh from my Unix account.

The only problem that I have is that when QuickKeys
types the string "mput *.hqx", TelNet assumes that
that "*" is from the keypad, not "shift-8".  This
types the string "mput ^[OS.hqx".

This also occurs in MS Word but can be fixed by
hitting the clear key first which makes the keypad
"*" into a normal "*" (shift-8).

This problem does not happen in; MacDraw II, MacWrite II,
SuperPaint, Edit, TeachText.

Question: I realize that the problem appears to be
in QuickKeys court but.......can some command in
the config.tel force a keypad "*" into a shift-8
"*"?

Thanks, John
