The file APPLE.DOC available from KERMSRV@CUVMA contains the mapping for the VT100 keypad to Apple ][+ I use a //e which uses the open-apple function key, I haven't got the APPLE.DOC file handy, but you may have to use the 'fire' button on a joystick to access some of the functions. If you all use the Yale ASCII system to interface a VT100 with an IBM 308x, you'll be able to accomplish just about every function with ESC followed by an appropriate keystroke (PA2 = ESC + period for example). See the VT100 layout documentation supplied with Yale ASCII (your computer center staff should have a copy) for the sequences you need. /s Murph [Internet] or ...{psuvax1 or mcvax}!uconnvm.bitnet!sewall [UUCP] + Standard disclaimer applies ("The opinions expressed are my own" etc.)
