Using VTEDIT with the HEATHKIT H19 ---------------------------------- When VT edit is invoked, it transmits a code to put the H19 in its Alternate Keypad Mode. The keypad now will perform the special function operations of VTEDIT. The only disadvantage is that the cursor control keys are also on the keypad. To use them, the shift key must be held down too. If you plan on doing a lot of manual cursor movement, you might want the keypad to remain in the shifted mode. This can be done by taking the terminal off line BEFORE entering VT edit and typing Escape and "x6". Then the cursor keys will respond without using the shift key. The H19 special function keys correspond to the PF keys on a VT100 as described in the VTEDIT documentation as follows: H19 VT100 ------ ----- BLUE PF1 - 'GOLD' key RED PF2 GRAY PF3 f1 PF4 *keypad Following is a diagram of the H19 keypad and the functions associated with the various keys in different modes. 'NORMAL' is when the key is typed without typing the BLUE key first. 'GOLD' is the action taken when the BLUE key is typed immediately preceeding the keypad key. 'SHIFTED' is the action taken when the shift key is held down while the key is pressed ( assuming Keypad Shifted is disabled ). Function Keys: +--------+ +--------+--------+--------+ ! f1 ! ! BLUE !
