Thanks john,
unfortunately I was slightly misinformed, he is not using a Laptop but a
Nokia communicator, I kinda like the idea albeit the keyboard is small.
Unfortunately he is limited to software supplied.,
Wasn't aware of the Emulator, will certainly add it to the toolbox :-)
thanks
Gary

Your support staff member needn't be limited to his VT100 emulator.  There
is a free HP terminal emulator available at

Fellow listers,
One of my customers have a site running a 9x8 MPE 6.5. I want to run Remote
console. No problem its configured and works happily with reflections etc.,
However, one of my support staff is using an emulator but can only offer
VT100 on a very old laptop and as such there is no 'BREAK' key on the
keyboard.
Question: is it possible for the Break instruction be recorded on another
machine and sent ?
          is the Break instruction de-codable to its ESC + xxxx value ?
Thankfully there is an           Escape key !
Many thanks
Gary Stephens
