Subject: [HP3000-L] OT ( I think) Help a newbie with simple HP 700/92
terminal question.


When I press "f1" I'd like the host to get the escape sequence.
Instead it puts a little star next to "Device control".

I've found that in qcterm I can select Terminal->Define function keys
and hit "OK".  Then the labels change to f1, f2 etc. and it works
fine.

I don't know how to do this on a genuine 700/92 and I'd idealy like to
send an escape sequence from the host ( I think I want to do that ) to
enable them.

So if someone could let me know about that and perhaps point me to
some online documentation.  I've tried ordering a manual from HP but
they are no longer available.

Thanks

Peter
