  I am trying to use wyse60 as my emulation and not all of the function keys are working.  It seems only f1 & f10 work.  Not sure why.  Any suggestions?  This is during a telnet pro session.

Make sure it's set to 24 lines. Nearly all Unix implementations only contain 24 line wyse60 definitions. If you have an app that requires 25 lines it will normally send an escape sequence to enable the 25 line mode if it needs it.

Thanks, but I do have it set to Wyse60 24 lines.  With the 25 lines, garbage was displayed when I tried to use the app, so I knew that would not work. I also forgot to mention, that I am running xp home sp 2 and using telnet pro v.5.1.26.

Weird, maybe your PC is doing something odd with the function keys.

Two suggestions

1) Try the classic version (4.4) and see if the behavior is the same or not.

2) Try version 5.1.19 and see if it works. Follow the instructions in this message at the bottom for installing it:

Let us know what happens please.

have you tried wyse60-25 as TERM setting in your unix box?
then choose the 25 line mode

Hi,

I just encountered some tips from an OLD friend who is much familiar with mainframes.
If you are using unix, you can normally diplay the current terminal configuration settings for your unix environment.
try using the command "terminfo" it will show you the function keys configured. If you need more than F10, I think you will need to customize this file.

regards,

Try this:
# infocmp > file.txt
edit the file.txt to include F10 and up...

example of the contents of the file

You can check the "man ascii" for further information

then use the "tic" command to compile the edited file.txt

consult the manual pages for syntax info of the commands...
