I recently downloaded the ice off site 32 bit version on to my laptop and wanted to know what are the standard settings for use w/ laptop. My function keys are not working

Depends COMPLETELY on the terminal type the unix side is expecting. If you are connecting to SCO, use ansi (25 lines) or wyse60 (24 lines) and either set the term type manually at a shell prompt:

TERM=wyse60
export TERM

or

TERM=ansi
export TERM

OR
change the /etc/ttytype file so that the tty you are logging in on is associated with a particular terminal type (run tty at a shell prompt to find out which tty you are connected on)

For linux, use linux emulation! Set the terminal type at a shell prompt or in your .profile.

TERM=linux
export TERM

For AIX, use ibm3151

TERM=3151
export TERM

For Solaris, use AT386

TERM=at386
export TERM

Most of the others will use vt100  or vt220.

The bottom line though is for the function keys to work, you HAVE to tell unix what terminal type you are using.
