DECxterm, UTILITIES, xterm key remapping (for use on UNIX Systems) The procedure remaps the Sun Keyboard, IBM AIX PC type Keyboard, Linux PC type Keyboard and Tru64 Compaq Unix keyboards to mappings suitable for VMS This program is designed to run on a Unix machine, create a terminal emulator with VMS keyboard mappings and then telnet to a VMS machine. USAGE: DECxterm [-option ...] which are identical to xterm. "#man xterm" for further details eg: DECxterm -e telnet yakka.ali.dec.com Note 1: All keys in the same position are mapped to the standard VMS LKxxx ikeyboard except for the keys between the main keyboard keys and the Numeric/Application keys which remain as labelled. The keys on an DEC LKxxx Keyboard are marked on other keyboards as:- Find marked Home, Insert marked the same, Remove marked Delete, Select marked End, Previous marked Page-Up and Next marked Page-Down. Note 2: Shift/F1 to Shift/F10 are mapped to F11 to F20 Note 3: Other Terminal Emulators such as dtterm or dxterm can be used by setting the variable DECXTERM_EMULATOR. The default is xterm. Note 4: The default xterm qualiers are defined by the variable DECXTERM_OPTIONS and are set to:- -fn 9X15 Default font -sb Enable scroll bars -sl 500 Number of lines saved that are scrolled off the top of window -cr red Set the cursor color to red -tn vt100 Set the terminal type to vt100 -132 Allow switching between 80 and 132 columns The default settings can be changed by defining this environment variable before running DECxterm. xterm_options="${DECXTERM_OPTIONS:=-fn 9X15 -sb -sl 500 -cr red -tn vt100 -132}" Note 5: To modify this program or to add further keyboard mappings edit out the C code from within DECxterm and follow the procedures documented in DECxterm.
