I'm My answer to them is, if I jump off a bridge will you too? They may have confused Vt100 with Vt220(and later) as they do have the function keys. What PCs do/did should never count as valid. < tempted to deliver a half-dozen true VT100's to their corporate < offices via catapult. Tim, Big time right on. Being an exDEC terminals and printers widget I have yet to find a terminal emulation on the PC that does a correct VT100(series) or remotely passable Vt2xx/3xx even the the latter have very similar key layouts. They are universally broken. My local solution is the use of RealTerminal (TM) IE: a in the flesh vt100/102, H19, Vt320, VT340 or vt1200. I know they are honest. Allison
