Caught with my documentation incompletely read and understood. You are exactly right -0 thru -9 are *apparently* the only keyboard macros available in Procomm 2.3. With that in mind, let me say that the IBM3101 Emulation Package allows much greater flexability. The only keys *NOT* redefinable are the standard alphabetic and number keys, the "NumLock", "CapsLock" and "ScrollLock". In addition, almost all keys including alphas and numbers can be defined when used in conjunction with the and keys. This makes customizing a keyboard to actually mean something and incorporate 40 PF keys very easy. -- -Chuck Bennett- 919-966-1134 ... ...!(decvax|akgua)!mcnc!ecsvax!uchuck
