MS-Kermit2.29 has an excellent VT-102 emulator, it will also allow mapping keys
to produce ANY string, the keys are mapped by scan code, so, you can set up and
key, CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, and any combination can be distinguished.
So...
I have a VT-102 keypad mapping script for MS-Kermit 2.29 for my Tandy-1000.
It took a VT-102 manual and about 30 minutes.

What I have is F1-F4 set up as PF1-PF4, PrtScr is the ','  and so on...
Here is the my MS-Kermit2.29 start up file 'MSKERMIT.INI', this (if you have
a Tandy-1000) will set up your keypad like that on a VT-102, if you don't have
a Tandy, just change the scan codes on the appropriate definitions.
*** ONE NOTE: in order for the 5 key on the keypad to produce a scan code,
the NumLock has to be pressed - this is a restriction on the keyboard driver
in most PC compatibles???
