    I posted a request for information on using DEFINE/KEY with existing
    command-driven software about a week or so ago. All my responses talked
    about the fact that I accidentally sent it twice (and I suspect that a
    number of other people are doing that, too!).  I received NO replies to
    the actual  subject matter, so I'll try again: Is it possible? It sure
    would be nice to  be able to use the keypad to define standard keyboard
    entries....

(Perhaps no one answered because they didn't want to say RTFM? :-) )

It's entirely up to the particular command-driven software.  The definitions
made at DCL level are available only to DCL, but any program can use the SMG
facilities to define any keypad keys it likes.  Read the section on "input
Through Virtual Keyboards" in the "Screen Management Guidelines" section of
the RTL reference manual.
